[Stoves] Fwd: Happy New year 2011

[Sarbagya Tuladhar]

Hi to all,

I am at the moment based in Bhairahawa working as a stove design
engineer for EWB Australia along with a local NGO NAMUNA. We are
working on designing a clean dung based cooking stove for the local
community here. The community here are entirely dependent on dung as a
fuel for cooking purpose. I have been working with "washing" the dung
before using as a fuel to remove the toxic gases in the fuel. After
the process of "washing" briquetting the dung is the next step. I
would certainly be meeting up with Mr. Sanu Kaji Shrestha in Kathmandu
during the first week of March. I am certain that his valuable
expertise will benefit me immensely. It would also be great to keep in
touch with Ranju Pandey. Does anyone know when the conference in Peru
concludes and Mr Sanu Kaji is back in ktm...

Best Regards,
Sarbagya Tuladhar
