[Stoves] Zambia TLUD project was Re: Re Hi TLUDerss

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Paal,

Your concepts for your project are very solid.  I and others would  
like to know the operational aspects of your project.  Is it primarily  
a fuels-for-TLUDs project (a worthy effort!!)?   And over what time  
period?   etc.

If it is too early to disclose much to the full listserv, please  
consider either a short summary of the project, or an offer of more  
details privately to those who agree to not disclose.

Again, congratulaions!!!!!!!!!

Paul
