ROTARY News:
Rotary Club President Alison Pannell presents a check for $500 to ‘Chief Cook’ George Basch, member of the Taos Milagro Rotary Club, for the purchase of clean-burning cook stoves through the Himalayan Stove Project.
The Himalayan Stove Project is a humanitarian & philanthropic program dedicated to preserving the Himalayan environment and improving the health of the people living in the trans-Himalayan region. The project donates and distributes free, clean-burning, fuel-efficient Envirofit cook stoves, transforming the lives of individuals and families who now cook with traditional, rudimentary stoves or over open fire pits inside their homes, consuming excessive amounts of precious fuel and polluting the indoor air to dangerously unhealthy levels.
