 Derk Rijks of the KoZon Foundation, and solar cooking trainer Marie-Rose Neloum, continue to teach solar cooking at the Iridimi camp for refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan. Nearly 250 panel-type solar cookers have been distributed to refugees, 50 of which were assembled at the camp. Contact: Derk Rijks by e-mail: rijks.agrometeo@wanadoo.fr or wiewen@bart.nl, Web: www.kozon.org. Armando Herculano Lopes Ferrera recently designed a panel-type solar cooker called Girassol (“sun flower”). Its pentagonal shape eliminates the need to reorient the cooker to track the sun’s movement. Contact Armando Herculano Lopes Ferrera by e-mail: aherculanof@yahoo.com.br   The NGO Solar Household Energy, Inc. (SHE) has spent several years developing a panel-type solar cooker — the “HotPot” — a variation on Solar Cookers International’s “CooKit.” In 2003 SHE competed for a grant from the World Bank’s Development Marketplace to mount a HotPot promotion project in Mexico.An interview with the directors can be heard here.
