Dear Sir

I am writing to inform you of 2 projects I am working on in India.

The first is a social enterprise bringing high efficiency wood fuel stoves to the people of the Himalayas. This project is called Himalayan Rocket Stove and has the potential to save millions of trees and reduce pollution dramatically throughout the Himalayas. Test production has begun in Ladakh, and we are now in the process of scaling up production in Chandigarh.

I would like to talk to someone about government support for this project. (www.himalayanrocketstove.com)

The second project is a non-profit venture aimed at saving lives of millions of people, particularly the women and children who are deeply affected by Household Air Pollution. As a result of the design prototyping and advanced testing of the first project, we have invented an extremely cost effective way to make smokeless cook stoves that can be easily replicated by anyone with the knowledge, a little clay and some puffed rice.

This project is called the Smokeless Cookstove Revolution. We have funded the first training workshop at the Punjab University in Chandigarh and would like support to share this knowledge widely within India. Over 4 million people die each year as a result of an issue that could be simply eradicated with knowledge.

I would like to see a national campaign aimed at informing and training people in how to make these smokeless cookstoves, and I am happy to donate my time and services towards this project.

Thank you for your consideration.

Kind Regards,
Russell Collins
