Girl Guides Association of Malaysia April 2008
  • April 2008: The Girl Guides Association of Malaysia has targeted 2008 as the year for Cadet Guides. The Cadet Guides membership is opened to trainee teachers in the 27 institutions of teacher training under the Malaysian Ministry of Education. Many Cadet Guides have been taught solar cooking over the years, after Guiders (lecturers) in these institutions were sent for a solar cooking course conducted by Ms. Barby Pulliam in 2000. Members of the guiding fraternity in various states and schools have also benefitted from our sharing sessions. In conjunction with the Year for Cadet Guides, there was a gathering of 256 Cadet Guides and 50 Guiders at Kem Al-Azzhar in Morib from 20 - 23 April 2008. One of the community service which we did was a cooking demonstration together with some theoretical input to about 15 local residents (mostly housewives) in a small village called Kampung Teluk Tongkah. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't too cooperative as it rained. We gave a set of the cooker to them and hope that they will try it out soon.
Girl Guides Association of Malaysia May 2008
  • May 2008: The Teacher Education Division held a Young Leaders' Course for the Cadet Guides (trainee teachers) in the central zone. 353 Cadet Guides attended the course which was held from 12 - 15 May 2008 in Morib, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The session on solar cooking began with a theoretical input followed by a demonstration. Each group then prepared and cooked Caramel Custard. The weather was cool and dry but not hot enough. Consequently, a longer cooking time was needed. Each Cadet Guide was given a set of notes for reference plus the instructions and plan to build a solar cooker.
