Stove Building

Leveling the floor and placing the first row of cinder blocks.
Lupe showing how to do the next step, filling with sand
 and putting the special fire bricks in.

Don Juan are WONDRERFUL mason is showing how
 to place the door.
This is a photo of the stoves given by the Guatemalan
 government.  They are obviously very small and have lots
of exposed metal parts (especially bad for children).  She is
only able to cook one thing at a time on this stove and
when on open pits, which are still widely used.
Check out the chimney. Now smoke will not fill the house
making it difficult to see and breath.  Also, our stoves will not
be a  health risk; forcing them to seek medical attention.
ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!
