Yesterday Cory went to a Wesleyan school a few miles away to give the students 350 moringa trees and another 50 for the church members that don't have students in the school. There had been 1/3 inch of rain at our house the night before but it rained harder in their area so a nearby river was up and school closed. A few students and the principal were in the yard so with their help we put the moringa trees in an open sided storage building for distribution on Monday.Over 600 banana offshoots were distributed among several churches.
Today there was an agriculture program at the Christian University of North Haiti. It featured products the students made from local produce, including yogurt, ketchup, jam, breadfruit bread, and crafts.
A rocket stove was featured with fried plantains to sample.
It is a good stove for Haiti since it can easily burn low value fuel like twigs or squeezed sugarcane stalks. It is made from clay mixed with rice hulls and it burns much less fuel than the more common "3-rock" stove or rebar-grate charcoal stoves.

Thank you for sharing. I still think the campus here needs a rocket stove. Someone here could learn how to make them-Yes? Praying for the trees. Appreciate all you do, Kris
P.S. I think you should blog more.
