Gabriele Simbriger-Williams serves on the Solar Cookers International Board of Directors and is the At-Large member of the Executive Committee. She began working in Africa more than 20 years ago, living in Mali from 1985 to 1992, where she worked to introduce fuel-efficient stoves. Since moving to the U.S. in the early 1990s, Gabriele has returned to Africa countless times and visited Burkina Faso, Madagascar and Senegal. In late 2007 she visited the Iridimi refugee camp in Chad to help evaluate the large solar cooking project there (a brief report on her trip).
