Review for Finding Freedom Through Friendship, Inc., Lexington, KY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I became affiliated with FFF during my senior year of college at Lipscomb University in the Mechanical Engineering program. FFF partnered with my advisor and helped fund our senior design project which included designing a production process for biomass charcoal briquettes. These bio-briquettes as we called them, would improve the state of health immensely if they could be implemented in the rural areas of Guatemala. We were successful in designing the bio-briquettes but found that to use them, cook stoves needed to be built in every house first. Over the past few years, I have been designing and researching about cook stoves in Guatemala. I hope to continue the relationship I have with FFF toward this project and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them thus far. They are a committed and passionate group that brings happiness and hope to those who feel so far away from it. I'm so happy I could be a part of their work in Guatemala specifically with widows and single mothers.
