"Derek" is one of our helpers who originally set the account up. All of the donations that come in from the date of the blog post will go to the monastery (we don't get that many donations so it won't be hard to figure it out :) If I have any questions I'll email the donor. I'm working with Fr. Silouan to try to get them to set up their own account. Unfortunately none of the Fathers there are comfortable with internet stuff... which is a good sign, actually. :)Steve Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319784922747041297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-66389350022085102762010-11-18T15:06:56.366-07:002010-11-18T15:06:56.366-07:00My Paypal receipt says

E when I visited St. John's Monastery last month, but I had no idea he was about to head to NM.<br /><br />I completely agree with what you said about Fr. Siluoan. I was stunned to hear he'd been sent to NM, but the Lord works in mysterious ways, after all.BJohnDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-74408044105249058662010-11-17T11:02:30.061-07:002010-11-17T11:02:30.061-07:00For places with little water and little money, thi...For places with little water and little money, this is a site about toilets - cheap to set up, use little water, cause no pollution and have no smell. And in two years you have good compost to use - you can use it on your fruit trees if you have issues about using it on your vege garden, but it is safe. http://humanurehandbook.com/downloads/humanure_sanitation_paper.pdf<br />Our own monastery is considering using this system for the monks' small huts and ordinary toilets for the guests.<br /><br />Best wishes for your building plans.Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-2669089639155497692010-11-17T10:49:15.891-07:002010-11-17T10:49:15.891-07:00Lord have mercy.
