Draft Spanish-Portuguese site for Stoves created: Estufas Mejoradas para Lena y Carbon Searches on Spanish and International search engines for terms like cocina de lena, estufas, estufa mejorada, fogones mejoradas, turned up mostly reports of NGO projects with little practical information for people in the field. We'll look for help from our friends in Ibero America for native language contributions, translations, and content suggestions. HELPS, Trees Water and People, Prolena, ECOSUR and others have offerred to help.
