History of Burners Without Borders:
Immediately after BM 2005 a group of hardworking Burners, (initially spearheaded by Matt & Shelley Lindsay of David Best's Temple crew) drove to Biloxi, MS with several tons of heavy equipment and nine generators. They have since teamed up with Oxfam and World Shelters, Pacific Domes, Action Hero Network & the Rainbow Gathering, to try and meet the needs of the communities devestated by the storm.
