I am Mr. Joseph Odey, and I started promoting solar cooking in 2000. I have taught hundreds of people on how to make and use solar cookers. My activities include among others the lecturing of students at institutions of learning and demonstrating solar cookers with food ingredients to the admiration of students and staff. I organise workshops and seminars on renewable energies, especially emphasizing the benefits of solar cookers. Several rural communities in Nigeria are my targets especially those suffering due to the high cost of fuelwood for cooking that is biting hard into the families' meagre incomes.

| - I am Mr. Joseph Odey, and I started promoting solar cooking in 2000. I have taught hundreds of people on how to make and use solar cookers. My activities include among others the lecturing of students at institutions of learning and demonstrating solar cookers with food ingredients to the admiration of students and staff. I organise workshops and seminars on renewable energies, especially emphasizing the benefits of solar cookers. Several rural communities in Nigeria are my targets especially those suffering due to the high cost of fuelwood for cooking that is biting hard into the families' meagre incomes. The first joint workshop on solar cooking was organized by my organization with the collaboration of Girls Guide/Scouts of America for the Girl Guides of Nigeria. The program was held at the Women Centre, Area 11, Garki Abuja FCT, Nigeria. Ms. Barby Pulliam of Girl Guide/Scout of America who is my colleaque on solar cooker promotion was my partner and part sponsor of the programme. She also sponsored Stella and Esther from Tanzania and Kenya respectively to come and join me as foreign partners. The materials for the productions of the cookers used at the occation were gotten here in Nigeria without importing any from outside the country. The workshop started on the 15th to 20th May, 2006. Image:Joseph Odey demonstration1.jpg Total number of 55 Girl Guide Members from 25 states out of the 36 states of Nigeria were in attendance. It was organized solely for the Girl Guides association of Nigeria. I am happy to report that the result of the workshop was sucessful as food items, like rice and stew were cooked as samples to the taste of all the participants. Especially that the Girl Guide members were seeing the cookers for the first time. The idea for the hosting of this workshop was conceived by me and was supported by Barby Pulliam while we were in Nairobi Seminar on Solar cooking in February, 2005. I followed up on the proposal to the Girl Guides of Nigeria Headquarters and make sure it was implemented and hence the report for your perusal.
