Solar and Energy Conserving Food Technologies
Acknowledgments[edit | edit source]
The Solar and Energy Conserving Food Technologies Training Manual was developed by the Farallones Institute for the Energy Sector of the Office of Training and Program Support (OTAPS) under Peace Corps Contract #PC 184-1024.
Training consultants:
- Laura Goldman, Community Education, Health and Nutrition
- Judith Elliott, Solar/Energy Conserving Technologies
- Peace Corps Administrative Support, Ada Jo Mann, OTAPS
The materials in this manual are primarily based on in-service workshops held in Fiji, Belize and Paraguay during 1983-B4, and on the Improved Food Drying and Storage Training Manual, published by Peace Corps.
Thanks go to Peter Zweig and Steven Joyce for their work during related in-service training programs, as well as for the materials they have developed, which have contributed to the development of this manual.
We appreciate the cooperation, support, administrative assistance (and unflagging good humor) of Peace Corps Paraguay staff during the production of this training manual.
Go in search of your people. Love them; Learn from them; Serve them; Begin with what they have: Build on what they know.
But of the best leaders when their task is accomplished, their work is done, The people all remark: "We have done it ourselves."
(Old Chinese verse)

Peace Corps INFORMATION COLLECTION & EXCHANGE T0017
Peace Corps' Information Collection & Exchange (ICE) was established so that the strategies and technologies developed by Peace Corps Volunteers, their coworkers, and their counterparts could be made available to the wide range of development organizations and individual workers who might find them useful. Training guides, curricula, lesson plans, project reports, manuals and other Peace Corps generated materials developed in the field are collected and reviewed. Some are reprinted "as is"; others provide a source of field based information for the production of manuals or for research in particular program areas. Materials that you submit to ICE thus become part of the Peace Corps' larger contribution to development.
Information about ICE publications and services is available through
The Peace Corps Internet Web Site address: http://www.peacecorps.gov
Please note the new Peace Corps Mailing Address from July 1998 on is: ICE/ Peace Corps, 1111 20th Street N.W., Washington, DC 20526, USA
Add your experience to the ICE Resource Center. Send materials that you have prepared so that we can share them with others working in the development field. Your technical insights serve as the basis for the generation of ICE manuals, reprints, and resource packets, and also ensure that ICE is providing the most up-to-date, innovative problem solving techniques and information available to you and your fellow development workers.
