Stoves "Service-Discovery trip" to southern Africa

["Paul S. Anderson" <psanders@ilstu.edu>]

Stovers,

I go to South Africa and Mozambique in early July until early October this 
year. (University work and stoves work.)

I am organizing an "Service-Discovery trip" to that area for 2 weeks (13 to 
28 July 2002) for some Rotarians (I am an active Rotarian).  It is far more 
than tourism.  It is focused on issues of service and the participants will 
get great exposure about several of the serious issues in Africa and other 
developing areas.  (The trip will include 3 days in the Kruger National 
Park, an enjoyable place to see how the landscape was before the pressures 
of the 20th Century.)

This group will include Tom Reed (plus myself as group leader) and others 
who have serious interests in stoves.  And one of our intended stops is in 
Swaziland where Stover Crispin has his stoves and other applicable 
technology.  Other topics such as education and community development will 
also be examined to the extent of the interest of the group members.

The estimated cost is US$4000, but there are some negotiable aspects to the 
costs.  This is a "non-profit" trip without paid guides.   We have 
tremendous contacts with the Rotarians in southern Africa, who will be 
providing home-stay in several locations and providing transportation 
assistance.   Any "surplus funds" will go to appropriate charity work in 
the areas we visit.  Therefore, I believe that this message is not a 
commercialization of our Stoves list serve.

Group size will be 8 to 16 people, and we still have room for a few more 
people.  It would be fun to have a few more "Stovers" in the group.

If interested, please contact me directly (off-list) 
at    psanders@ilstu.edu    very soon for more details.

Paul
