roger

i had a quick email introduction to chris playford just 2 weeks ago. i
believe he was involved in your past project on the north bank here so i am
aware of your achievements. good news to hear that you intend to continue /
re-start your initiative. i think you are correct in saying that a number of
stove designs should be considered for different locations - rural / urban -
and different fuels used. i would love to learn more about your time plan
and how best we possibly could co-operate to avoid duplication of research /
effort and improve dissemination and implementation.

hope to hear from you soon
