I am now back in Germany, but I would still like to report on an event afterwards. Henk Olwage, project manager in Gobabis, demonstrated the use of the solar ovens made in the carpentry workshop in Gobabis at the project managers’ meeting in Okahandja.

  Each steps project will now receive a solar oven for testing. This is intended both to save energy costs and to make solar ovens better known.
In addition, we want to provide all families in our steps homes in Gobabis with a device. This will enable the families to save on the cost of firewood and, hopefully, encourage their neighbors to acquire a solar oven with our support as well. In the long term, this could help counter further desertification and soil erosion.
