Masons on a Mission

[jpmanley@midcoast.com (Pat Manley)]

Hello stovers
On Thursday, Feb 1st, 2001, Tom Clarke (Guatemala Stove Project) and myself
(Patrick Manley- Masons on a Mission) will be flying to Guatemala for over a
month to lead over a dozen volunteer masons and helpers from the US and
Canada, and 3 or 4 local Maya masons to replace over 100 three stone fires
in the small village of el Rincon (near Xela) with hand built brick and
block cookstoves. This is a small village, and we may be able to build a new
cookstove in every dwelling in the village.
All the materials for this project will be bought in Guatemala with money
that Tom and I have raised over the past year.
Tom and I went to the relocated village of Santa Catarina Ixtahuacan last
year and managed to build 26 cookstoves.
Fellow Canadian stover Norbert Senf is one of our 6 volunteer masons this year.

If anyone is interested in learning more about our project, please visit my

If anyone wants to be copied in on progress reports e-mailed out over the
course of the project, just reply to me and I will add you to my list.
