Solar Cooking Presentation to Rotary Addis Ababa

I have just returned from visiting Addis Ababa, Ethiopia few weeks ago and have presented to the Rotary club the Solar cooking efforts that are shared by Rotarians in Sacramento and Fresno, California, USA. Additionaly, I have presented the particular project that was implemented in South Africa which was headed by Ed Krumwiede, International Services Director for the Rocklin/Loomis Rotary Club in California, USA, D5180.

Climate makes a big difference in how much value is derived from solar cookers. All of Ethiopia is close enough to the equator to get plenty of solar power whenever the sun is shining (not counting the first hour or so after sunrise and before sunset). To get more good use from solar cookers, one wants not only ample hours of sunshine during daylight, but predictable sunshine--reducing the guess work about whether one's food will cook with solar power today or not.

Therefore, I urge you to support us with our work and you may contact us at any time at the Sacramento Rotary club.
