The Green House blog wrote last month that this appears to be "the nation's first eco-gym specifically meant for homeless men, women and children."

 A group of college students is helping rescuers on the ground find their way around the wreckage in Haiti by pointing out roads and obstacles among the destruction. But they're doing it all from the comfort of their classroom, using current satellite images and a program called "Open Street Maps."
University of Nevada Cartography students are digitizing pictures of roads and waterways, and then detailing the maps with things like collapsed buildings, road obstructions, and spontaneous camps that have sprouted up to help rescue workers in Haiti.

At first glance, the school has many of the trappings of a modern university: a provost, department heads, even an admissions committee. Yet there are glaring differences—namely, a the lack of a campus or physical classroom and just a handful of paid staff—that set it apart from its bricks-and-mortar counterparts.
