\nfellow Vic West parent, Mark Crocker. Sounds like a wonderful learning
\nexperience!<\/p>\n

NEW HOPE SCHOOLS IS BUILDING STOVES WITH GRADE FIVE KIDS AT VWES<\/p>\n

It is hard for us to truly imagine what it would be like to cook over
\nan open fire every day. To not have access to simple clean cooking
\noptions. But for families in Haiti it is a different story:<\/p>\n

\n – Millions of people spend hours every single day to cook a meal for their kids
\n – Women walk for hours to find the fuel.
– People spend hours to cook a meal
– Kids get burned by the open flames
– Families breathe the smoke day after day<\/p>\n

Mark Crocker fro New Hope Schools Society is here this week to show our
\n grade five classes a simple stove design that is making a big
\ndifference in Haiti.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday Feb 27,<\/b> Mark will work with the
\nstudents to help them understand the problem of smoke as well as
\nparticipate in building a smokeless stove together. Students will
\nparticipate in building a stove together.<\/p>\n
