28993: Scheerhorn (ask) solar cooking (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Lynn Scheerhorn <lscheerhorn@ohiocitizen.org>

If any of you have connections or information regarding solar cooking programs 
in Les Cayes, please e-mail me.  I am traveling to Les Cayes the end of October 
and I am hoping to visit a few sites that currently have a program in place.

I am excited about this as a project, because it will benefit people in more 
than one way.

Longer term I would like to see an increase in the use of solar panels to 
provide electricity for homes.  So far I have only seen these used as a free 
standing panel, and I understand that theft is the biggest issue there.

Have solar panels been incorporated into the design and building of homes in 
Haiti?   I am asking because if they could be incorporated into the 
architecture of the home, they would be "fixed in place" and perhaps not 
stolen.

Please pass on any info you have knowledge of regarding solar programs in 
Haiti, and particularly Les Cayes.  Thanks!  Lynn
