[Stoves] burkina faso briquetting

[Roger Samson]

Steve

We have some interest in Burkina Faso and cooking fuel projects and would be
interested in learning more about your work there. There is a good deal of
experience with Quebec organizations in development projects in Burkina
Faso.  I have friend who this week mentioned that the Burkino Faso president
is quite interested in developing alternative cooking fuels in his country
to deal with the fuelwood crisis.

Thats good news. We have never met and our only contact has been  
through email, some time ago in fact, so it comes as a pleasant  
surprise indeed.  Steve,  I'm taking the liberty of sharing with many  
others on the budding Bq network. Please do send us and any others  
who request it, all at you have . We will happily send it on to the  
rest or you can send it directly per this list...
Briquetting is a great solution and it can be just as greatly  
problematic in the early stages too.
Thanks again for sharing,
Richard
