Portugal
At the end of December 2023, we received another enquiry from David Loureiro / Investigador Auxiliar at the 𝑳𝑵𝑬𝑮 (Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia, I.P. = National Laboratory for Energy and Geology, I.P.) in Lisbon for an SK14 solar cooker.
As early as 2022, we supplied the 𝑳𝑵𝑬𝑮 with an SK11 and an SK14 at a special price, which were very well received.
David Loureiro attached this comment and a photo of an event organised by the Scouts in Portugal to his email.
We are delighted that the circle of enthusiastic solar cooks is constantly growing and we will continue to support the commitment of clubs, schools, universities etc. at home and abroad.

Afghanistan 2022
At the beginning of August 2022, we sent another 100 sets of reflector sheets to Afghanistan in cooperation with our partner Afghanic e.V.
This time, in addition to 50 solar cookers for the Khost/Paktia region, another 50 solar cookers were to go to the Paktika region, which was shaken by a strong earthquake on June 22, 2022 that killed over 1,000 people.
Shipping was a bit more difficult than last year because there were no flights on the usual route via Istanbul available until further notice.
Eventually, the consignment reached its destination airport in Kabul on a detour route.
In March 2022, 3 solar cookers were delivered to the Loreto Children’s Home in Zimbabwe via the Bulawayo Projects Centre.
They were overwhelmed!
