Almost Done Making Fogones

Before I head out for a vacation birthday trip, I wanted to update folks back home how the project is going. The bricklayers have had great success in effeciently making quality brick ovens. They have made two fogones per day this past week and a half and each fogon has turned out well. I have been visiting and helping the work also, making sure things go smoothly. All the materials such as brick and cement have arrived so they can finish and work continually. By Tuesday there should be 21 fogones set. Then the two bricklayers will do their family fogones by wednesday or thursday. The womens groups funds and community funds will go towards building the school fogon shelter. Extra bricks and materials might upon group consensus go towards building a community worm manure tank to be used for gardens and fields. Other extra funds due to dropped prices will have to be discussed. There might be interest in making cement top latrines for more higiene, equipment for planting more trees or similar community health oriented goals. I will notify any changes and take more photos of the results! All for now! Suertemante- Good Luck
