Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini. Our strength does not come from ourselves alone, our strength derives from the many.

Kia ora koutou katoa,
A short note to say thank you so much for your effort and support following the loss of my tools earlier this year.
The Givealiitle page was more successful that I had hoped and will allow some more Rocket Stove Oven builds to happen!
Whilst it was devastating to suffer the loss of my tools at the time it's difficult for me to find the words to describe the generosity and great heart of those who so willingly contributed to the Givealittle page. Some were friends and family but many of them strangers whom I can hopefully meet one day to personally thank.
The money has easily covered the $250 insurance excess and allowed me to buy a stock of materials to build more ovens in the community, along with one or two new tools to help the builds. This will mean a significant subsidy for materials for the next two or three Rocket Stove Oven builds, first in first served - the only criteria is that it needs to be an open community based organisation.
If you know anyone who may be interested in a Rocket Stove Oven build please contact me via the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/rocketfires
