Briquette Production at the Grady Grossman School, Cambodia. In January 2008 Sanu Kaji Shrestha of FoST in Nepal trained the local villagers of Chrauk Tiek, Cambodia how to produce biomass briquettes from waste materials such as saw dust, rice husk, rice straw, leaves, coconut husks and scrap paper. Over 40 villagers were trained and a production facility was established. Now 19 workers (17 women) produce 4 tons of "Smart Choice Fuel" per month. A more permanent facility is being built. Sales of this alternative cooking fuel is brisk—selling all the villagers can produce. Net profits from sales go to support education at the Grady Grossman School. This method of sustainable development is the work of Sustainable Schools International. To learn more visit: http://www.SustainableSchoolsInternational.org
