Suzan went to the village to follow up on the stove building and the maintenance of the program facilities such as smearing of the buildings and the construction of the firewood storages in the kitchens.
When she reached there, she went to the chairperson’s home madam farida and found when she had just come from her garden. She happily welcomed Suzan and then went ahead telling her how they were not going to build the stoves that day because most members had gone to the centers to vote for their L.Cs.
However they had previously managed to build two stoves on their own and farida requested Suzan to go and have a look at them and see if they had made some mistakes. As they were still sitting and discussing, three more members joined them and without wasting time, they all got up and began walking around the village while visiting some homes.
In the process, Suzan observed that some members had neatly smeared their houses although most kitchen roofs needed to be replaced with new grass. She also entered into some of them and saw that the members had built the firewood storages and stocked firewood on them which was really encouraging. Although they had built the stoves,the members somehow failed to make good measurements between the saucepans and the stoves.
Suzan requested the chairperson to inform the other members when they came back from voting,to organize the materials for building the stoves in the next meeting of which she will inform them. During that time, she would show them how to measure between the stove and saucepans together with leveling the stems of which they agreed. They then thanked Suzan for the visit and wished her a safe journey back home.
