Notes
Harriet went to Ndalike village to continue guiding participants as they build stoves on their own.She reached in the village and found the participants busy stamping the dirt that will be used to build stoves on their own. They did this as they sang songs of unity showing how the healthy and safe kitchens program has united them and also it was a sign to show that they loved what they were doing. The participants told Harriet that they have already removed banana stems from the two stoves that were previously built. They also assured her that they have done it perfectly because they kept on looking at the complete stoves for comparison and guidance. Kibo staff asked the participants to go with her to those homes that they removed banana stems from the stoves. The participants suggested that, they all work together to build the stove first before they go to look at the stoves they removed banana stems from. Interestingly this group was able to build a stove on their own with little guidance from kibo staff who guided them on fixing banana stems as they built stoves.The participants were happy when they saw that they were able a stove on their own with little guidance from kibo staff. Then kibo staff together with the community members went to inspect the stoves that they removed banana stems on their own. They had tried to it but only did not enlarge the hole for fixing fire wood. Harriet enlarged those holes as she told the members that it is important to enlarge those holes to creat enough space to fix in firewood and to roast maize Incase they wanted too. The participants thanked kibo for patiently teaching them despite the mistakes they have always made.They also recommended the approach of working with them in small groups which give them a chance to actively participate thus easy to learn. They also identified Mugote Goerge to take the lead in their group of building stoves. Harriet encouraged them to keep on practicing because practice makes perfect.
