Darfur Stoves Project’s First Fundraiser

On March 23, 2011, the Darfur Stoves Project held our first fundraiser at the Press Club in San Francisco. We’re pleased to report that the event was a big success! With well over 100 people in attendance, guests mingled while enjoying wine and treats, including chocolates generously donated by San Francisco-based chocolate company, TCHO. DSP Founder and Board Director, Ashok Gadgil and Executive Director, Andree Sosler spoke briefly about the project against the backdrop of photos taken in Darfur of Berkeley-Darfur Stove users. Attendees included Paul Alivisatos, Director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as well as Mohammed Sadki, our newest member of the Board of Directors. Many thanks to our Advisory Council members, Allison Goodson and Martha Welsh who served as Event Chairs and to our guests who helped to make the night a success!
