[Stoves] Paal Wendelbo - Thank You

[Michael Mahowald]

Dear Vetle, My condolences for you and your family
I always admired Paal, he saw so much life and saw how to use it.Paal was the first person who inspired me to use straw for these stoves as he did in Africa.
His contribution of building those first stoves during the war have already changed the world today.  Paal's followers have continued developing the stoves and have seen how much our poorest brothers and sisters need them.  We have a long way to go to implement what Paal has started.  We never see all we accomplish in a lifetime, but his seed, fruit of his labor is an inspiration that certainly lives on.  
I am sure God is telling Paal; ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.'35God bless you and all of Paal's family who will miss him.

Subject: [Stoves] Paal Wendelbo - Thank You

Dear Paul, Dean, Crispin and all other stovers



On behalf of my father Paal Wendelbo I wish to thank you for all the work
done bringing focus to stoves and household energy in the development
countries.



For almost 30 years, Paal brought attention to health and environmental
issues connected to cooking and household energy for development
countries. Paal found other people, later friends, with similar ideas and
thoughts in this stove community. Despite arguments about stove design,
function, and whom had the better stove. No doubt he was a pioneer,
teacher but also he was a student.



The world have knowledge the problem Paal raised already in the mid
80's. His simple Peko Pe stove invited people think new. He was also a
pioneer of TLUD stoves.



Paal Wendelbo past silently away 13.04.2014 with his family precent.



Best regards

Vetle Wendelbo Cappelen with family
