“I was electrified by what the stoveteam are doing. I can promise you that the video will be showed at our club meeting very soon, and then we have to see what we can do from there. I would like to see many Rotary clubs in Europe joining an effort to do for Africa what you in the US are doing for Latin America.”

“Your video was VERY well received. It was the second time I had viewed it and it still impacted me (and my partner who watched it with me). The Club had many comments to make but the overriding feeling was that this project had so many aspects. In addition to basic health and safety there were many environmental issues highlighted in the video - and our members really saw that.”

“Our branch was impressed with what you are doing within the first few minutes! They have asked that I put together some dot points on what would be required of us.”

“The presentation went very smoothly and was well-received by our Club. The interactive video is a great concept and worked quite well.”

“Our club was so moved by the presentation we had it on our agenda for our monthly board meeting to discuss. I am pleased to let you know our club has decided to donate 4 stoves. It will be wonderful to share with the club what families will receive the stoves. I do a quarterly newsletter, I’m hoping to use that information and pictures in our 2nd quarter one. Hopefully that will bring more attention to the great things Stove Team International is doing! Thank again for such a great presentation.”

“We showed your video at our club meeting last night and the members were very impressed. The discussion afterwards was wide ranging and we resolved to carry out some research to see if the need exists in our backyard. The newer club members were interested to see how Rotary works in your part of the world. Our International projects are in the Pacific Islands mainly so we will look at that area. Thank you again for sharing with us the excellent work you are doing.”

“We made this project the subject of our guest speaker at our last Thursday Rotary weekly meeting and the reception was most enthusiastically received. I have been charged with exploring how our club can become involved in this project as we are aware of the need for such a stove in many nearby countries.”

“What a great program! Aside from the appalling story movingly and effectively being told, it was visually incredibly well done and really communicated the message. Whoever is responsible for the production work is obviously a pro and kudos them. Thank you for taking the time to make the presentation to our little group. I’m going to try to introduce the possibility of supporting the StoveTeam in our next budget cycle.”

“The video presentation was well received and promoted a lot of discussion. What we gleaned was that whilst the brilliant efforts of StoveTeam International addressed the majority of Rotary’s 7 areas of focus, the primary aim was to save lives and we were all impressed that, what looks like a relatively simple solution is achieving so much. More strength to you all. Our club bulletin, which covered the meeting and your video, is shared with other clubs in our area so they will pick up the news as well. I wish you every success in getting those 5,000 stoves out there.”

“The presentation went great. What a neat way to get your message out! We are discussing adding your cause to our list of fundraising goals.”

“The presentation went well and was really well received. I appreciate this additional info, we had a number of inquiries around how our club members can get further involved, and so I’ll share this follow up broadly with our 98 members. I’ll also be happy to share this info with a broader distribution that includes other nearby clubs. Thanks again for your interest in presenting to our club,”

“Amazing work being done. THANK you for the good work you are doing.”

“The video worked well this AM. And the Q&A was a nice personalized touch. Thanks for making the video available to Stockton Sunrise Rotary. Our members learned a lot about the issue of open fires in homes.”

“It went very well and most of the FAQs were used. I moderated it all easily. I’ll use this info to post on our club web site, social media, and in the weekly newsletter to the membership.”

“On behalf of the Southampton Rotary Club in Ontario Canada, we would like to thank you for the introduction to your amazing international project. In our Program Committee, we discussed how this would be a beneficial charity that we could look to support, and would be further investigated by our International Services Committee.”

“The video was very informative. I think our club enjoyed watching it. We didn’t realize there was such a need for safe cookstoves. Thank you for sharing.”

“We really enjoyed the presentation. I plan to send the original email plus the links you’ve included in this email to our club members so they can learn more about what you are doing! So inspiring! PS: Our local paper did an article on the presentation as well so we hopefully enlightened others in the community! You might find the article if you google the Lewistown Sentinel. Best of luck with your program and we will keep this project in mind for possible future support.”

“The video definitely made an impact on our Club. I have already received one request for the link to share it with others who may still have grant funding left. We have four other Clubs in Springfield. I believe our Club president is going to share it at the next President’s meeting. Thank you so much for reaching out, we truly had no idea of this significant issue!”

“We really enjoyed the presentation this morning and the feedback was great.”

“Thanks again for sharing the information on this very worthy project.”

“Your presentation indeed went down very well with the Club. In fact it was quite an eye opener that in the 21st century millions of people are still cooking meals by using these outdated stoves. Wishing you all success.”

“We showed your virtual presentation at our weekly Rotary Zoom meeting, and it was very well received. Our International Committee have discussed the project at a recent meeting. Thank you so much for bringing this matter to our attention, and we are delighted that you’ve found such a simple and effective cure for the problem. We were amazed at the scale of the problem, and you should be congratulated for the work you have begun.”

“I looked around the room throughout and the members were quite engaged. I sent the presentation out to all of our members. You told a good story and educated our club members.”

“The presentation went very well and members were impressed by your work. I’ve put a video of the session on our YouTube channel and recommended it to members that didn’t attend. At the end of the presentation I suggested we could make a small donation to your organisation from our speaker’s expenses account. Much to my delight, I was told this wasn’t acceptable so took it to Council who doubled our basic speaker fee as a donation.”

“We played your video at our meeting this morning. It’s an amazing story and everyone was very impressed. Thank you very much for reaching out to us. We may be interested in getting more involved with your organization.”

“This was outstanding. I will definitely share on our Facebook page and newsletter.”

“It went well! Thanks so much! We will definitely share the video!”

“It’s a great presentation, and an incredible program. Thanks for all you do!”

“The StoveTeam presentation yesterday was very well-received and I am grateful. Whether or not our Club, as an entity or as individuals, will get involved in your efforts is up to our Board of Directors. You and your colleagues are doing great work.”

“Thank you for this presentation. I for one did not know it was such a global issue. Some club members were aware of the issue and I will bring up further support at out next club board meeting. I signed up for email updates and wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.”

“Thank you so much for supplying the interactive video presentation from StoveTeam. Our members really enjoyed viewing it today and the questions/answers at the end were very helpful. We at Crestwood – Sunset Hills (St. Louis, Missouri) Rotary Club appreciate all that you do! And from a personal level, while I have not been able to go on the trips to Guatemala, I found your video presentation to be very moving. It humbles me to be involved in Rotary and what we do and stand for.”

“Great presentation with excellent production work as well. What a fantastic project!”

“Our Club really enjoyed watching the video about StoveTeam International. I believe we learned a lot and are considering what kind of support we’d like to provide when we can.”

“My club and I really learned a lot from your video - especially about how lucky and privileged we are to live here in the US and how totally ignorant we were about these issues. I have forwarded the link to your video to everyone in the club, along with the email you sent me with links to other information sources about StoveTeam. I’ll also see about posting this on Clubrunner for everyone in our district. We will talk to some of the other clubs and see if we can get together to send you some donations. Thank you again for reaching out to me. I wish you great success with your very ambitious and very important mission.”

“The club really enjoyed the video, it was very informative. Thanks for sharing!”

“Everything went great. Very nice presentation. I will forward to our entire membership.”

“The program went very well as I notice people tend to leave during a Zoom video and/or speaker-that did not happen today.”

“We presented your video at our meeting last week and it was very well received. Our fundraising activities are going to start again and we should have money to contribute to charities by the Fall. We will add StoveTeam to our list of projects to consider.”

“The presentation went well and was very well received. I’ll pass this information along to our club president.”

“The video was most interesting and informative. I will pass your message on to our Club President. Congratulations on the life-saving work you are doing!”

“The presentation was excellent and our Club was definitely interested in the work you’re doing.”

“The presentation was very cogent and effective. This is a very worthwhile project with multiple world benefits. I am recommending your presentation to other presidents.”

“It went very well and many wanted more information. I will share this information. I think you will see some action from out club and district very soon.”

“We enjoyed the video and did pass it along to the members that were not able to attend the meeting. I’ll pass your info to some other Rotary Clubs.”

“Nice presentation. Very informative. Thank you.”

“We used the presentation at last Tuesday’s Meeting. I think it was well received by the group. We were able to get through all the questions in the presentation which all together was pretty good timing for the meeting. I think our members liked it and there was some discussion afterwards saying that.”

“Your presentation was well received and very informative.”
