[Stoves] Gulu Week In Review from Ken Goyer, forwarded by Warren

[adkarve]

Dear Richard,
are you sure that waste frying oil is readily available in a country like
Uganda? At least in India, it is not. Among all the foodstuffs, oil is the
costliest. People recycle the previous day's left over oil for this day's
frying. Even in our own households we do it.
Yours
A.D.Karve
