After seeing how the devastating 2010 earthquake left the people of Haiti suffering without electricity and unable to keep their drinking water safe and their medical equipment sterilized, I launched a website www.powerfromthesun.us with help from Gregor Richardson. Since then, and with encouragement and creative direction from Bonnie Hirschel at Duckie Design Creative Solutions, I was able to redesign the Power From The Sun website to focus on fundraising and highlight annual events and solar projects. My goal is to educate people worldwide about the benefits of solar cooking and to help raise funds for Sun Ovens International to send solar ovens to Haiti and other people in need.
