Notes
Tape went back to the village to practically teach the community members how to remove the banana stems from the fuel efficient stoves. When she arrived there, she went to madam mutesi’s home where the stove was previously built and found some members already gathered there. She was warmly welcomed to the village and without wasting much time, she requested a few active members to get into the kitchen so that she would show them how to remove the stems out of the stove. This was because the active members would be able to show the rest of the members how to carry out the activity on their own without the guidance from Kibo staff. About four members got into the kitchen and Tape began taking out the stems step by step while explaining each step to the members. This was important because they needed to master the skills correctly so as not to make further mistakes in the future when they are building the stoves on their own. Later after taking out the stems, Tape got some dirt mixed with water and cow-dung from the basin and began smearing the stove from inside to outside. This was important to be carried out immediately so as to avoid cracks and also to strengthen up the stove. Tape encouraged all the other members outside to always do so the moment they finished taking out the stems from the stoves and then take about one month before cooking on it. She went ahead and explained to them that once they start using the stove before one month, it would crack all over. The members were so grateful for the advice and lessons taught that day and Tape left wishing them a happy stay.
