Today we have built 4 extra cost free ovens, made out of old metal buckets we found in the kitchen’s hospital.
I brought one back home to do the test, and boiled the spinach with 3 fuel briquettes, and later the green peas with another 3 fuel briquettes. Some pictures below of the cooking experience. On the meantime, we are trying to get our head around on how much we will be pricing the briquettes.
Later in the afternoon I went to collect loads of paper to ECHO, who are moving their office to Goma and are kindly recycling their waste for us!
Very cute picture, Virginia! Great job with the briquettes. If these briquettes will help save the forests of Virunga and at the same time help sustain the livelihoods of these woman, I’d say they’re priceless. LOL! Whatever you decide on as the price, I’m sure it will be fair. Good luck! Lisa
