Photo Title	Volunteer Pays a Visit to Local
Photo Description	This Volunteer serves as an animator and village extension agent for forestry projects. In this photo, she visits the home of the wife of the Eaux et Foret Department director who cooks the main meal of the day using a portable, caly-fired stove, the result of a secondary project this volunteer animated. Working with a woman who fabricates “canneries” (clay earthen fired containers), this volunteer helped adapt the design of a wood-conserving banco oven to this portable clay cooker, which conserves wood, is fuel efficient, less expensive to purchase than metal stoves, is less prone to accidents and produces less harmful smoke than conventional cookers used in most Malian Homes. In 1987, the President of Mali decreed that all families (homes) should be utilizing improved, wood-conserving stoves and that it is the responsibility of Eaux et Foret to enforce the requirement.
