Jewish World Watch is involved in a number of humanitarian efforts. These are all important, but one that caught my attention was the Solar Cooker Project. By using a very simply designed technology (the solar cooker, pictured above) not only are the women of Darfur can reduce their need for firewood, but they are also less likely to suffer violence as they leave the camp.
I hope the violence ends soon. I also hope this technology continues to be used. It seems like a wise use of “green” technology.
I would encourage you to go to the site here and find out more information as well as how you can help.
P.S. I found out about it on the TIME web site. The video they use is very similar to the one at the JWW site, but for some reason, the voiceover is different. The video at TIME is good, but the JWW site has much more information.
