When the survey took place, Holms and Friends provided the hotel chef with a solar cooker to prepare the meal for the students. After the program the solar cooker was donated to the student's school. The Holms began teaching solar cooking in 2008.
Their goal is to raise consciousness about solar cooking using a different approach than is typically taken by foundations promoting and subsidizing solar cooking methods for poor citizens in Africa. They plan to create solar cooking consumer demand through awareness programs such as their hotel survey project, and help other hospitality projects become more energy efficient with their operations. Their plans also include opening their own eight room bed and breakfast, already passive designed and energy efficiently built, to be run solely on renewable energies and rain water harvesting and operated with environment conscious methods in mind.
