- Notes
- Suzan and Jessica were in the village with the purpose of building more demonstration stoves since many community members had not mastered all the skills for building the energy saving stove. They arrived at the village safely and headed straight to one of the homes where the demonstration process was going to be carried out. The members got so excited welcoming Kibo staff with happiness while singing songs of joy. The committee chairperson informed Kibo staff how they had already divided themselves into two groups whereby one group had gone to the lower side of the village while one remained at the upper side. Both groups had all the building materials in place ready for the demonstration to take place. Jessica decided to remain with the upper group for the demonstration while Suzan went and led the other group at the lower part of the village. This was a very important suggestion because the village was quite big with the members somehow scattered making it hard and tiresome for other members to travel and meet in one place most especially the old and pregnant women. It also created enough space for the members to watch and learn the skills of building the energy saving stoves. Suzan and Jessica carried out the demonstration process in two different homes where by some community members got involved in the activity mainly by stamping the dirt and practicing how to smear/smoothen the already built stoves . During the demonstration, Kibo staff kept on explaining every step to the members just to ensure that they understood and were not left behind until all the two stoves were successfully built. The entire community came together and thanked Kibo staff for the healthy and safe kitchen program saying that it would greatly improve on their healthy lives if they continued with the same spirit of working together as a team in their community. Kibo staff also thanked the members for their efforts to attend and participate in the demonstration process. Together they agreed upon the date and time that the next meeting would take place and the meeting was closed with a prayer from the committee vice chairperson.
