Part of the training for Rufino Caniz is to learn how to weld. He is doing a good job. He will also start to learn more about electricity and solar power. He should start taking the electrical classes this week, week#5 of the fall semester. He found a model solar coffee drier that we are going to see about building and checking for temperatures and other important data. The site he found is in Spanish and is a drier they use in El Salvador. It is similar to several models we have seen on web sites here in the USA. It looks like a good model to start with. We are going to see about adding some small solar powered fans to move air over the beans. We need to get this built in a week or two so we can see how well it might work. Rufino is also working on a project that could help bring in some more funding. A cat bench for the garden. This bench is like the ones I have on my web site only this bench has redwood on for the seat and back. I think once this is done it will make any garden area look better.
Once we get the wood on this, paint it black, and get the whiskers on the face I think this will look get and should bring in some money for our project. It is also giving Rufino some practice at making things.
