Thought you would like to see this.
 
1.       Pictures of stove under construction
2.       Invoices from suppliers
3.       An accounting on how many stoves were built using out last $18,000---only 137. Cost per stove has gone up from $105 to $132
4.       Letter of thanks from officers---stove are loved by all and are performing as expected
5.       Total stove built---455.  They do not say I think another 150 to 200 more is needed. No mention of how to fund. We only have $2000 in the coffee fund. We will try to see what their future plans are

Estimado amigo Filiberto y todos los socios de CIRSA:
 
¿Cómo están todos?  Esperamos que todos se encuentren bien de salud junto con sus familias.  MICHISIMAS GRACIAS por las fotos de los fogones.  ¡Que bueno que hayan adquirido los comales por un vendedor local. 
 
Roberto y yo nos gustaría saber cuántos fogones ecológicas se han construido en total y cuantos  les quedan para construir.  Vamos a tener una reunión de los socios de nuestro grupo el 15 de septiembre y apreciaremos mucho si puede responder a esa pregunta. 
 
Continuamos vendiendo el café de CIRSA una vez al mes.  Esperamos que todo vaya mucho mejor que el año pasado para ustedes.
 
Gracias a Dios las tormentas que afectaron al costo este de los Estados Unidos no nos tocaron .  En este momento estamos visitando a una de nuestras hijas y su familia . Ellos viven en la parte oeste del estado.
 
Muy bien, les mandamos unos abrazos muy fuerte y esperamos que Dios les bendiga. 
 
Atentamente, Catalina y Roberto y todo el grupo de Chiapas
