Gordon Hirst, an Australian Engineer, has volunteered with SEDA to teach local Laotians to use a solar cooker. His first training program was attended by six women, and one man, who learned how to build a solar cooker for emergency or daily use.
The participants are sharing what they learned from the program with their local communities. SEDA’s Founder, Ms. Souly QuachAngkham, monitored the program and has received feedback from the participants that learning how to use a solar cooker will be very useful during the flood season. However, the temperature produced was not always strong enough to allow them to cook at high heats for a prolonged time. The solar cooker was originally built for use in Australia and Gordon suggested that the participant use stronger aluminum metal sheets to produce more heat.
