Grace Chepkemei & Shirlynn LaChapelle: Solar Sisters from Sister Cities

Grace has promoted solar cooking in her home city of Eldoret, Kenya for years. Shirlynn and Grace connected through the Sister Cities program, linking Eldoret with Minneapolis, Minnesota. And it was in Minneapolis they reunited for two conversations, solar fellowship and sun-baked cranberry bread!
Grace has led groups in the construction of simple retained heat "hay basket" cookers, training women in the use of box and panel cookers, and with Shirlynn, expanded their Sister Cities' vision to include solar cooking to help families achieve economic independence.
