10	Sunny Solutions Snapshots of Solar Cooking Efforts Around The World
11	Here are some people in Gambia who just learned to build their own solar cookers.
12	Women in Kenya learned to solar cook using panel cookers
13	This refugee camp in Kenya only provides one stick of firewood every two days, so these people are very happy to learn about solar cooking.
14	This woman at the Kakuma refugee camp said that the only time her children can eat is when she solar cooks for them.
15	This picture shows a variety of cookers being built in Nepal.
16	This cooker is the perfect size for a small family in Mali.
17	Here you see a man making solar cookers in Mali. He is using straw baskets, metal, wood, and old kettles.
18	Here are a few more samples of cookers in developing countries. This shot was taken in Ghana.
19	These are Bolivian solar cookers.
20	These children in Zambia can go to school for the first time. They used to spend their days looking for firewood. Now they have solar cookers and have plenty of time for school.
21	Just in case you were wondering, yes…you CAN use a solar cooker in the snow. This man carries his solar cooker in his back pack, and used it when he was climbing Mt. Everest!
22	Solar Cookers In Haiti
23	We have been contributing to a solar cooker project in Haiti for the last eight years. Haiti used to be called a Tropical Paradise, but now it is an environmental disaster. Their overuse of firewood and charcoal has devastated their forests and eroded their topsoil.
24	We helped sponsor workshops to train 600 families. We also taught them to make these panel cookers.
25	Sun Ovens helped sponsor a solar cooked lunch for 400 people at the U.S. Embassy.
26	Several Villager Ovens were sent to provide meals for schools and orphanages.
27	Follow up studies show that 65% of the families trained still use their solar cookers almost daily. 20% only use them on weekends.
28	Humanitarian Efforts in Afghanistan
29	After 9/11, we wondered if we could send solar cookers to help the refugees in Afghanistan. We met with Paul Munson, President of Sun Ovens, and formed a partnership with several Rotary clubs.
30	Together, we raised enough money to send five Villager ovens to Afghanistan. These ovens can cook 2000 loaves of bread each day, and have a propane attachment for cloudy days and night cooking.
31	One of the cookers went to this boys’ school in Kabul.
32	We also sent an oven to a girls’ school where there are 2900 students. It is the first time they have been allowed to go to school .
33	The girls learn to cook with solar cookers during their school day.
34	Shoes, clothing, food, water, and other supplies were also delivered with the solar cookers.
35	The last oven was delivered to this village. These caves are home to around 400 people. They were very grateful for the ovens.
36	It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to help so many people.
37	Kids Cook
38	We have been designing and building our own cookers for nearly ten years now.
39	We usually use aluminum foil and recycled boxes to build our cookers.
40	We also teach children from local schools how to build solar cookers.
41	We like to do lots of experiments and tests.
42	We take notes on temperature changes and heat trap materials.
43	Our favorite part of solar cooking is probably eating the food!
