They cooked rice and beans on the SolSource. Cakes and rice were prepared in the other cookers, and water pasteurization was demonstrated. DIY sessions were held each day. At the end of the project, two parabolic concentrators, 40 Haines cookers, and materials for the bowl/panel cooker were donated to the cooks and the women's group.

A solar cooker construction workshop organized by Mary Buchenic
Mary Buchenic lives in Hubbard Ohio, USA. Beginning in 1995, she taught solar cooking as part of her science curriculum for 15 years, working with approximately 1,500 students over that period.
As an educator, her goal was to design learning opportunities for students that would empower them to think, question, create, understand, and act. As a retired educator and a volunteer, her goal now is to stay involved in her family, her community and the non profit, and to continue sharing the wonderful technology of solar cooking.
Mary is the co-founder of Solar Education Project (SEP). The mission of SEP is to promote solar cookers as tools for education, wellness, economic empowerment and ecosystem recovery. SEP promotes solar cooking locally in Ohio as well as internationally in Haiti, Kenya, and Pakistan. SEP is a member of Global Development Solutions, an NGO created to connect and support those working at the grass roots level to solve quality of life issues in ways consistent with the principles and goals of GDS. See GDSNonprofit.org for more information.
