Is your club looking for a new International challenge? Can we take this into Timor Leste? 400 cigarettes per hour: The killer you probably don’t know exists

My name is Aaron Li and I'm a volunteer with StoveTeam International, a nonprofit organization started by a Rotarian. We are currently working in Latin America to save families from the dangers of open-fire cooking. The cookstoves we provide not only help families avoid respiratory illnesses, which account for 4 million deaths every year, but they also provide local employment and prevent CO2 emissions! Our innovative approach has won StoveTeam numerous awards, and resulted in the donation of over 78,000 cookstoves to date. But around the world, we are still nowhere close to addressing this issue on the scale it deserves.

To raise awareness for this crucial issue, we developed an engaging and informative interactive pre-recorded video presentation, specifically for Rotary clubs. The video follows the same format as a standard Rotary program, while allowing us to show your club the issue of open-fire cooking firsthand and give an inside look at our programs. We have received an incredible response from Rotary clubs so far, and we would love it if you could share this information with your club, your district and beyond!

How it works
You can watch the video on your own, or show it as a program during a Rotary meeting. All you need to do is click the link below to start the video. Please note that we will not be able to attend the meeting, but our Operations Director, Forest Resener, will be there in spirit via the interactive video! StoveTeam has a small staff of only three directors and we are dedicated to remaining focused on our programs.

• The video includes a 23 minute presentation, plus a Q&A session at the end where the meeting host can click on questions to display an answer video.
• Promotional information can be found here: stoveteam.org/rotary-video
• Video link: https://video.mindstamp.io/watch/DSrtypWyPFIa

• • Please let me know the date you plan to show the video!

After the presentation

• Let us know whether the club enjoyed the presentation. We will be thrilled to hear from you! Feel free to post the link publicly and share with other clubs or individuals.
• Please share our website via email and social media, so that club members can continue to connect with us: stoveteam.org/next-steps

Thank you for your consideration, Aaron
