AUTHOR: Nancy TITLE: LAST CHANCE TO SIGN UP! DATE: 10/20/2009 08:57:00 PM ----- BODY:
This week's the last time to sign up for the November 7th trip to Guatemala, and it should be a super trip. Don Steely and Susie Hanner will be taking a team of 20 volunteers to Guatemala to help Marco Tulio Guerra set up a factory to produce Ecocina stoves, and he has done a great job of advance planning.

A local Mayan village will have each volunteer assigned to a family so the volunteers will go to the market, prepare the mid-day meal, and then go gather wood. This way everyone will learn the entire circle of life in Guatemala FIRST HAND. Volunteers will be paired with local factory workers so you'll get to make friends with someone who actually works in Marco Tulio's factory and see what it takes to make a stove.

If you want to learn to weld in advance of the trip, there is a group learning to weld this Sunday, so send us an e-mail at info@stoveteam.org if you'd like to join the group.

Remember…if you want to come, just complete an on-line application and send it off this week.

Nancy
