<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>in a few weeks I´ll be in Kenya where I will also meet with Mr.
Mawira. In our project at Mt. Kenya we are going to promote a
different type of panel cooker: the Lightoven Upcycling that was
designed by a German engineer in Berlin. This cooker is very
efficient and much cheaper to produce and build than the
Haines-Copenhagen. It is made from two recycled polypropylen
election posters and cheap pp reflective tape. I´ll take two of
these cookers with me to Kenya for testing and to show them to Mr.
Mawira. (And I have 900 unused posters that were donated to me by
a political party.)</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Ingelore Kahrens<br>

29, 2017, a Solar Cooker Festival for 500
schoolchildren was held at Kakuma Refugee Camp in
Kenya. This celebration not only made solar
cooking possible for 500 households, but was the
inception of a sustainable solar cooker social
enterprise to meet the high demand for solar
cookers in Kakuma camp. A 2016 study by World Food
Program engineer Godfrey Mawira showed that solar
cooking was the second-most preferred method of
cooking in Kakuma, even though very few solar
cookers were available.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family:'times new

solar panel cookers called "Haines-Copenhagen”
cookers were assembled in Kakuma by refugees from
materials donated by Haines Solar Cookers. They
should last 10 years with proper care.</span></p>

by Faustine "Mama Solar” Odaba, and her Nairobi NGO,
NAREWAMA. Significantly, Ms. Odaba had been one of
the trainers in 1995 when Solar Cookers
International (SCI) first introduced solar cookers
in Kakuma. Before the festival, 50 refugee women
were trained to use the cookers, and they in turn
trained the children. The festival took place at
Hope Primary School in Kakuma Camp Four. During the
festival, "Mama Solar” set up fifteen cookers and
cooked a wide variety of food, including rice,
vegetables chicken, eggs, cabbage, ugali, beans and
cake. The children sat in neat rows as trainers
handed out the cookers, cooking pots, food and
water. All the children assembled their own
cookers, and successfully cooked delicious noodles
before an enthusiastic crowd of family members and
relatives. The children were elated and proudly
showed off their new cookers.</span></p>
