- Notes
- Suzan went to the village to follow up on the smearing of the facilities and teach the participants how to remove the banana stems from the previous built stoves. She found some group leaders at the meeting place and together first walked home to home while monitoring the smearing of the facilities. Suzan kept on encouraging the participants to smear all their buildings so that everything looked neat and healthy to live around. On the way, she met some children cooking on the three stones open flames stoves in kitchens which needed to be improved on. Together they discussed about the importance of smearing and how often it should be carried out. One elderly woman named Margaret said she always smears all her facilities once or twice in the month depending on the weather. Smearing prevents dust, mosquitoes and other insects from crawling in. It also helps block all the holes that may attract rats and snakes from hiding. Later after, they went to Easter’s home and took out the banana stems from her fuel efficient stove. Some male participants practiced to remove the stems after Kibo staff showed them what to do. Suzan encouraged them to participate in any activities so that they learn faster. She thanked everyone for attending the lessons and wished them a happy stay.

Kamudoke. During a home to home visit, Kibo staff found one of the women cooking on a three stones stove in a poor kitchen which needs to be improved on before she receives a fuel efficient stove. She encouraged her to smear her kitchen and repair the roof.
