Hi! I'm new at this so please forgive any errors. I've requested for a page to be made about Kalu Yala in Panama. It is a sustainable community with a 30-year building plan that began in 2007. Since summer of 2010, it has had over 70 interns from 30 states and 10 countries creating feasibility studies in every aspect of city life imaginable.

As the old editor of the blog and sister of the CEO, I feel like it's not my place to write it. However, I feel like it's something worth be written about. I've written a fairly detailed summary of the project and would love to pass it on to someone who has an interest in writing the Wikipedia page. Of course, it would be yours to edit or remove information that you don't find appropriate. Being so close to the project, I wouldn't want my words to compromise the article. Can anyone help me?

A little bit about Kalu Yala: Kalu Yala is a sustainable jungle village for entrepreneurs and tropical cowboys located in the Tres Brazos Valley outside of Panama City, Panama. Its 30-year building plan intends for it to become the first-ever environmentally sustainable community in the world, with hopes that it will be a teaching tool for the world on how to live smarter. As of January 2012, it is accessible only by two miles of rough dirt road. It is located 50 minutes from downtown Panama City and 35 minutes from the international airport.

A sustainable community, Kalu Yala is founded on the core tenants of culture, new urbanism architecture, organic food, wellness, recreation, education, preservation and conservation of the natural environment. Kalu Yala is being designed using an innovative process called “Naked Development”. This transparent and collaborative effort utilizes input from innovative leaders in organic farming, finance, sustainable architecture, community design, future residents of Kalu Yala and the online audience. The result is a living community model, able to evolve in response to the demands of its visitors and residents, and driven by social, environmental and economic purpose.
