Latest Update from the FieldMore stoves built in HondurasBy Dom Williams - Latin American Project Director, August 06, 2008 06:12 PM
As the year moves into the final third, we have managed to build many stoves in the community around Copán. We have also trained up a local mason to be able to help us build more and bring the project more sustainable. Over the coming year we hope to have all the houses with the new stoves and be able to move into another community aswell. The difference in the lifestyles of the recipients so far has been monumental,with health issues decreasing.
