Notes
Tape, Suzan and Jessica went to the village purposely to guide the community as they built stoves on their own and also to encourage them to smear their kitchens,stoves,latrines and bathrooms. When they arrived at the village, they found a tree that they always sit and hold their meetings cut down while some committee members were sitting at a nearby shop within the trading center. The committee chairperson madam kansiime together with other members welcomed the kitchens staff and later informed them about some conflicts that had risen within their community which led to the cutting of the tree. And for that reason, the meeting place was shifted to the committee chairperson’s compound under a mango tree. The kitchens staff with the community briefly discussed about the activities that were to be carried out that day and without wasting time, went to the home where the energy saving stove was going to be built. Some members had already completed the first steps of the building process which was mixing and stamping the dirt. Others joined in carrying the dirt inside the kitchen and began building while the kitchens staff guided and explained every step they carried out. This was very important because some members didn’t master some steps perfectly especially while measuring and fixing the banana stems in right places. During the building process, the kitchens staff kept on encouraging the members to improve on their sanitation and hygiene and also to keep smearing their home facilities for a better healthy living. And after building the stove, Kibo staff requested some members who had learnt how to build stoves on their own to always try helping those who hadn’t mastered the skills for building whenever they found free time together. Kibo staff thanked all the members for participating in all the healthy and safe kitchen lessons and the meeting came to an end with a prayer from Jessica.
