New Truckload of Stoves in Chan Chen

Post by Doug Millar.

WE MADE IT TO COZUMEL!

After 5 and half hours we made the 15.6 mile crossing from Paamul to Cozumel.

Raising about $11000 dollars with more coming in. This money will go to pay for 100 kids in the Mayan zone to pay registration fees for school and buy 50 more stoves....

Stand UP and Help The Kids

 

On August 23rd I am planning to cross from the Island of Cozumel to Paamul on my Stand up paddle board. We need your help! You can give now online or you can wait to see if we make it. If I don't make it the kids will still need the money so please give now and get your friends and church involved. 

Here are a couple route options depending on the wind...  we will probably have to tack the wind if it is not directly on our back so who knows how long it will really be :)

If the winds are from the North it will be about a 14 nautical miles (26 kilometres) voyage 

If the winds are from the South it will be about a 16.5 nautical miles (30.5 kilometres) voyage

 Now you can buy online with Amazon and they will donate to our Mission Organization "Global Community Fellowship. Thanks You

Update on our Wood Stove project

Update on Wood Stove project.  We have now installed over 140 stoves in Chan Chen and the surrounding village. 

For thousands of years the women of Chan Chen cooked on three-stone fires inside their one-room palapa homes leading to...

Excessive smoke inhalation being the leading cause of death in Mayan children under the age of five, according to the World Health Organization.

Children and adults being terribly burned due to falling into the fire.

Having over two times the safe level of carbon monoxide gas in their living environment.

Spending hours daily gathering wood to burn.

Black soot covering their living space.

High rates of Acute Respiratory Infections.

We have found a durable stove that minimizes smoke and burns and reduces wood use by 70% while maintaining traditional Mayan cooking methods.

The ONIL Stove

   

The fire is contained in a clay-fired firebox in an insulated, durable stove that sits off the floor, thus minimizing the risk of burns

Vented by a galvanized steel chimney, the stove uses an efficient burning technology, and virtually eliminates smoke and deadly carbon monoxide in the home.

The ONIL stove reduces wood consumption by 70%, resulting in  a long-term benefit to the environment and a better quality of life for families.

Women who use the ONIL stove gain the equivalent of two days a week in time saved from gathering wood.

Please help us reach our goal of 300 stoves so all families can experience the benefits.
