Re: Self-reliant learning

Dave, et al.:

Another story on low-tech solar solutions that improve women's lives:

http://www.parade.com/health/2009/03/solar-cooker-project.html

This is not anywhere near as good a news story as Fred de Sam Lazaro's
report on northern India's Barefoot College, but it did appear in a
more popular forum (3/1/2009 issue of _Parade_ magazine, a weekly
insert for many big-city Sunday newspapers in the U.S.), and the story
has already generated online comments which raise some of the
criticisms about the recent push for more solar ovens (NOT the panacea
that some have envisioned).

There is still a need for improved (more context-specific) oven design.

In haste,
Deborah
