As a participant, you will work with Aprovecho experts and other participants to build four types of stoves, and then test your work. You don’t need shop skills to complete this workshop. Space is limited to 30 participants, so we encourage you to reserve a spot soon. Cost: $800 includes most meals.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=style-1><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=style-1><span style='color:black'>Contact Aprovecho Office Manager Mike Hatfield at: <a href="mailto:apromike@gmail.com">apromike@gmail.com</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=style-1><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=style-1><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
