In 1974 , Stephen Gaskin and The Farm , an intentional community , started an outreach program called Plenty . In response to the devastating 1976 Guatemala earthquake , Plenty sent carpenters who built schools , houses and clinics in remote Mayan villages and a clinic for Mother Teresa . In its first ten years , Plenty established a clinic and orphanage in Bangladesh , an appropriate technology training center and reforestation program in Lesotho , and a wind-powered electric lighting system in a Carib Indian school in Dominica . It provided disaster relief in the " Developing " World and free ambulance service to the South Bronx which helped to train emergency personnel what then became New York City 's EMS . It went to sea with Greenpeace and gave the '' Rainbow Warrior '' its ham radio , slo-scan TV , and radiation monitoring equipment . Plenty put Native American FM stations on the air , and pioneered amateur-band television and radio to keep its remote outposts of volunteers connected
