The end of school Term 1 is around the corner. Schools will break off on Friday 5 of May, and children will be back from their holidays on Monday 27 May, to commence with Term 2.

The holiday period is the opportunity for us to get our hands on all those institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) that need repairs. Schools receive free IICS maintenance anytime of the year, whenever needed, for a period of 10 years.

Lately, we have been experiencing corrosion on the connectors than allow the smoke to get pushed from the combustion chamber towards the chimney pipe and outside the kitchen building.

Today we collected 30 connectors that will be installed in several schools very soon, to ensure cooks continue to enjoy a smokeless kitchen environment!
