Anyway I was thinking of a solar cooker project.. but am a little concerned about its feasibility and whether it is needed in Cambodia. I was thinking of getting hk volunteers to teach local women (those interested in using solar cooker) to make one (it’s very easy to make) and then provide them with materials so that they can teach others to make the cooker by charging them a small fee. I would really appreciate your professional advice! So I wondering, whether you are familiar with rural Cambodia? Do you think it’s needed in Cambodia? What are the real needs of the people in rural areas? »

Could you give me a response to that?? I am not familiar with rural Cambodia at all!!! » A friend of mine asked me.

I answered: « Cambodia, the poorest country in region, has achieved strikingly high rate of economique grownth over the last 10 years. Cambodia’s lacking of electricity, even many dams are built recently. Diesel & heavy fuel oil will become a major source of hydropower. Last week, Siem Ream who always bought electricity from thailand has used its own electricity for the first time. Most provinces that share the frontier with our neighboring countries buy electricity from them.

Nowadays, many of thos provinces have just started to look at building dams, solar machin(sth from sun for energy),hydropower..

Solar energy has moved to a number one step of all. Thousands more & more houses install this system everyday. Even the energy from wind has been using for these last 2 years.
The solar company(a local company) has provided its skill through out cambodia.
Solar energy has become also a favorite question to many main cities. A hand-made electrical car was used(Battambang or sth).
Totally, solar energy will be a hot choice in a whole cambodia(my family will use as well).
On the other hand, the improvement of solar energy system needs to be developed with the new techniques, everything. »
Another of my friends added « Many dams are proposed these day in Cambodia, not yet built. There are so many options to gain electricity with Eco environment friendly, not only solar but also other are included and considered as the main source to produce electricity, wind is one of the source, for in stance. »

Do we answer the question? »
