[Stoves] Attending the PCIA Conference in India

[CEDESOL Foundation]

Dear Christa,

Do you know Bernhard?  I really like working with him and the team he is
building.  We are getting ready here for a conference (March 5-7) where he
is launching a campaign for 100,000 stoves by 2010 and of course we are part
of that initiative.  Finally found someone in Bolivia who wanted to do
something about IAP!

The single pot stove we produce has an adjustable skirt.  I can bring an
example of same if you like (the skirt).  We think adjustable skirts are the
best answer to different pot sizes.  We had two styles but the one with
handles seems most popular.  Plus of course pictures.

We also teach folks how to make retained heat cookers from on hand materials
(not so fancy as those you make;-) to use in conjunction with their rockets,
be it the single burner or the 2 burner.

Looking forward to exchanging ideas.

What hotel will you be in?  I haven't found where to book rooms yet.

warm regards
David
