StoveTeam received this message from Victoria Pierce in San Miguel de Allende this morning. Check out the StoveTeam Facebook page to see the photo.
"This morning I delivered a stove to 'my' family that live outside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Ana and her family of 5 were living in a cardboard box like shelter when I found them. I met Ana and her children 6 years ago when she started collecting my trash. For a long time I had no idea how she lived. Over the last couple of years with a team Called "Ana's Angels' we have been able to change the life of this one family. Ana now owns a piece of land and the Mexican Govt. is going to build her a small house similar to the one she is standing in front of right in the picture. The house will be simple, no lights, running water , or bathroom but it will have a roof , floor and a door that locks.. a long way from a cardboard box. The school age children are all in school and doing well. I wish you could have seen Ana's face when we explained that the stove would produce very little smoke and was safe for her small children.. thank you so much for this project. Such a little thing that we take for granted can change the life of an entire family."
