Solar Cooking News Update, July '07

[tomcamp]

i Tom,
I am writing an article for the upcoming newsletter on Amanecer -
Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW). This is an interesting
group, it was started by the STEVEN Foundation in collaboration with
ESW and they teach an engineering course at Cornell University.

See info. from their website below:

Last year the Solar Oven team partnered with Grupo Fenix, an
organization from the Universidad Nacional de Ingeneria in Nicaragua
that works in rural areas to increase awareness of sustainable
lifestyles and research renewable energy. In a region suffering from
deforestation, Solar Ovens eliminate the need for women to spend
hours of their day gathering resources and reduce the health risks
from fires. Working specifically with a small community in Sabana
Grande, the Solar Oven Team works to increase Solar Oven usage by
creating a sustainable solution that is culturally acceptable and desirable.

Thanks,
Katie
