Notes
It was a bright Wednesday morning when Suzan,Tape, Jessica,Chris,Alex,Abraham,Steven,Martin,ida,Diana,Irene,Enock, Walyomu and some visitors from USA went to Ndalike village. The purpose for the visit that day was to build the first fuel efficient stoves. When they arrived at the village, they were happily welcomed by the members with songs of joy. After exchanging greetings and a little bit of dancing. Suzan first introduced the new visitors and some Kibo group staffs to the community and then requested them to be organized enough so that they would build at least two demonstration fuel efficient stoves since it was the main practical activity to take place on that day after the theoretical teachings. The community members were so excited and even informed Kibo staff how they had already organized the building materials in two selected homes. Together they all first agreed to build one stove in one of the selected members called zirida, this was because being the first demonstration stoves, each member needed to watch critically especially when carrying out the first building steps such as measuring the actual basins of anthill dirt while mixing it with the grass. This was important at a very beginning because once the rightful amount of grass and dirt were measured according to the saucepans, a good firewood saving stove would be built without difficulties. Kibo staff went ahead and began measuring the dirt and grass while explaining the whole process to the members because they needed to learn the first steps before going to the next. Later after, they stamped the dirt together while dancing and singing which also attracted more people to come over and join the crowd. Music was played which helped in quickening the building process because sometimes for the stove to be quickly and easily built, it needed teamwork and fun among the members. The first stove was properly built and together they went to the other members home and built the second stove while singing and dancing. Kibo staff carried out all the building process while the community was watching because they didn’t have any idea how it was built. The members also kept on asking different questions concerning the different steps while Kibo staffs answered them. This was also very important because the members needed to learn and try to master the skills at the beginning. In the end, two fuel efficient stoves were successfully built and Kibo staff thanked all the members for participating in the stamping and also encouraged them to always come and attend all the stove building lessons whenever Kibo was in the village to teach them Kibo staff also encouraged them to bring in more new members from their village so that they would also learn and get rid of the old open flames stoves which were causing harm to their health. The members were so excited for the lessons taught that day and promised to work together as a community for an effective development in their village since the women were suffering and having many challenges while cooking on the old three stones open flames stoves. The meeting finally came to an end an they all wished one another a happy healthy stay.
