Hi all,
As you will see in the draft Solar Cooking Plan attached above, I have contaced several organisations who may be able to assist. I have received the following reply from :

Hello Angela,
Discuss and research solar cookers and other green technologies

The village of Nabitende depend mostly on trees for their livelihood, feeding and energy. The trees are used for practically everything in their day to day lives; Charcoal, firewood, shelters, food etc.
Because of this high dependency on trees, a lot of trees are cut and none planted in replacement. This is causing severe depletion of the trees and if something is not done, the people of Nabitende face deforestation and subsequent loss of their major source of income.
All cooking is done on open wood and charcoal fires. Therefore solar cookers and other green technologies are needed.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for that info. Before I saw your post I had already done some research and written up a draft plan of how to approach it...not sure if it is useful but I will post it here for any feedback.
Cheers,

Hi Mary,
Thanks for the link. I will take a look at it!
Raul: I think your input will help greatly!
As for the avocado discussion, I have started a new task so we can continue the discussion there.

Hi Mary,
Yes it was a very interesting trip!
I just spoke with Eric and he said the community is very keen on developing some uses for avocados. Lots of research needs to be done though.
As for solar cookers; yes I too remember a discussion, but not sure where :-(
I'll make sure Eric gets the phone numbers. He will hopefully be online all the time soon as he now has a laptop and will be getting a modem and connection for internet in his home.
Thanks!
