Whilst I applaud your efforts in trying to find innovative solutions for those in greatest need, might I advise you that the population of Darfur are largely Muslim. They use water to purify themselves from urine and other impurities when visiting the toilet and before each prayer (5 times a day). Such people may be in great need but they have dignity. Proposing they live, pray and take shelter within an 'urine based shelter' will be an affront to their dignity. Basic humanitarian principles dictates aid is given in a way that protects people's dignity and not diminishes people's dignity - often their dignity is all they have left. You may want to go back to the drawing board or just check with the people you are trying to help whether this solution is culturally and religiously acceptable to them. Best wishes Hi.

Either it's a chemical problem or Toby's piss is just too resilient to ever evaporate. You might be interested to note that Astragal, the brown-nosing London-centric 'gossip' columnist of the AJ has picked up on your project in this week's (1.11.07) edition of the magazine (p. 66). Not much in it, just an opportunity for some fading alcoholic hack to name drop and make a rather weak joke, but look out for it :) James Bad luck with soggy interiors.
