Second Rocket Stove for Succotz

With such a large family, we wanted to make the Succotz family a second rocket stove before our departure. They gratefully accepted the additional stove which greatly improved their outdoor kitchen and task of cooking for so many family members.. We really enjoy making these efficient stoves and were blessed to have left the molds and plans with a earnest Christian brother who intends to make and distribute more in the coming months..

That'll do! The family was so grateful that their rusty tin roof on the outdoor kitchen was also able to be replaced, thanks to the left over materials from Big Maria's project.
