- Notes
- Jessica and Suzan were in the village with the intention of building more demonstration stoves. When they arrived at the village, one of the community members welcomed them and guided them to one of the homes where other members had gathered busy practicing how to build the energy saving stoves on their own. The members happily welcomed Kibo staff at their village while singing songs of joy on top of their voices, and after exchanging greetings they immediately informed Kibo staff how far they had gone trying to build the stoves on their own. Kibo staff together with the members decided to first move around the village to monitor the already built stoves and correct the mistakes where necessary. Many stoves were not well built because the members lucked enough knowledge and skills for building a proper energy saving stove. Jessica and Suzan demolished some stoves that were not well built with the help of the members and built two more demonstration stoves in two different homes. Jessica kept on explaining every single step during the demonstration process and encouraged the members to keep practicing by participating in other steps of building such as stamping the dirt, cutting the banana stems and smearing the stove. This was important because the members were not well equipped with all the skills they needed to build a fine stove. Two stoves were successfully built that day and Kibo staff thanked all members for their effort to build stoves on their own. They also thanked them for their participation and encouraged them to continue practicing for a better perfection . The meeting finally came to an end after the members and Kibo staff agreed on the date and time that the next meeting would take place. A prayer was then led by a member from the community.
