Ken,
Thank you very much for the report. You and Mathew have certainly made good
use of the sixbricks stove as a practical low cost solution since we saw the
stoves at ETHOS 2003.

Dear Tom,
I believe that so far, with Mathew and All Nations Christian Care, we have
made about 15,000 SixBricks Rocket Stoves in the Lira, (north) Uganda
refugee camps . I have 2,700 numbered pictures of these stoves, with the
owner, her house, the flag of the Rotary Club of East Fresno and the number
of the stove. Taking pictures has proven to be more difficult and more
elusive than actually making the stoves. I hope to show these pictures at
our ETHOS conference this year. Dan Wolf of the International Lifeline Fund
has taken over this project in Lira and plans to fund 100,000 more stoves as
well as to fund and run the project in Darfur camps to build a targeted
100,000 stoves there.
Meanwhile, I have started a new stove project in Gulu, (north) Uganda
to make an unlimited number of Six Bricks Rocket Stoves in the Gulu refugee
camps, in addition to teach stove building in Northern Uganda. AidAfrica is
also working with Rotary Clubs in Southern Uganda to make about 1000 stoves
for each of thirty Adopt a Village projects.
So this coming year will be even more exciting than last year.
AidAfrica now has an office and staff in Gulu and we plan to send volunteers
from here to Gulu (and other parts of Uganda) to build stoves, start a
reforestation project, address the problem of malaria and continue with the
medical project which has directly saved very many lives.
Much thanks to you for running the stoves list. It has been
instrumental to bringing the world closer together.
Best regards, Ken Goyer
