- Notes
- Suzan, Tape and Jessica were in the village with the purpose of building a first demonstration stove and to continue teaching other members about the rightful materials to be used for building the fuel efficient stoves. On arriving the village, they found some community members gathered at the meeting place waiting for the Kibo staff.
The community got so excited on seeing Kibo staff, who happily welcomed them while singing. The chairperson on behalf of the community opened the meeting with a prayer and later informed Kibo staff how most of the new members had little knowledge about the materials used for building the fuel efficient stove. She kindly requested if they would be given a chance to learn more about the materials that day and also showed Kibo staff the two sacks of grass that they had gathered in preparation for the lessons.
The members together with the community decided to continue with the material lessons since many of the new members had just joined the program that same day. Jessica pulled out some grass from the sack and placed it on a piece of wood while holding a sharp panga, slowly she started chopping the grass into small pieces while members were watching. Kibo staff requested members to form small groups of about 5-6 people because this would enable each of them to participate while practicing to chop the grass.
Each one was given a chance to practice chopping the grass, members kept on chatting and smiling throughout the process meaning they were enjoying it. They also kept on asking questions where necessary, this was very important because it ensured that everyone understood the skill and non was left behind. Kibo staff also talked about the kind of soil needed for building the stoves which is at the anthill, and that it would be found within their environments (in the garden most especially).
This was important because it made the community members understand that all the stove building materials were totally free and could easily be found within their community.
When the members were done with the chopping process, Kibo staff requested them to select members of their choice where the first demonstration stoves will be built in the next coming meeting where the date and time were agreed upon. Two members were selected and the meeting came to an end with a prayer from one of the community members.
