Great Yarmouth, England is better known by locals simply as Yarmouth. It is a coastal town located in the region known as Norfolk. It lies approximately twenty miles east of Norwich. It has a beautiful beach and two promenades, which are popular with locals and tourists alike. It is one of the area’s main tourists centers and there is a great variety of styles of Yarmouth hotels so that the perfect accommodations for all tastes can be satisfied. There are many interesting landmarks and historic icons as well as great contemporary social elements that continue to draw throngs of tourists to its streets every year. One of the intriguing stops most tourists make while visiting Yarmouth is a visit to the Tollhouse. This 13th century building retains its historic feel and includes dungeons, which captivates the imagination of the young and old alike.

In addition, though along different lines, are the two piers that city has. The Britannia Pier and the Wellington Pier each have their own charming and dynamic elements. The Britannia Pier is home to the Britannia Theatre, which is one of the last remaining end of the pier theatres in all of England. During the summer months the theatre hosts popular a series of popular shows that are enjoyed by the thousands of tourists that are visiting the city. Some of the more popular performers include Chubby Brown, The Searchers and Cannon and Ball. There was also a theatre on Wellington Pier though it was torn down in 2005 and is currently being rebuilt. That won’t stop tourists from enjoying the rest of the attractions found along Wellington, nor will it impede their interest in the sandy shores of Pleasure Beach. The seafront is reached by walking the beautiful promenade known as The Golden Mile. The beach and Golden Mile stretch include plenty of arcades and indoor amusement centers, as well as fabulous restaurants and other entertainment and adventure options.

Volunteering at the Bhutanese refugee camp in Nepal, we noticed they have a new way to prepare meals without using firewood or kerosene; they are implementing the use of the solar cooker. We asked how it works and we were told that the solar cooker works by reflection and absorbent of sun rays. A special type of mirror reflects the light of the sun, which causes a pan that’s placed in the middle of the cooker to heat up. We drove back to one of the Nepal hotels to meet up with an associate of ours and tell them about this very inexpensive way to save the local forest.

When we arrived and met up with our associate we could hardly contain ourselves with the excitement we had about this solar cooker. We told our associate that like a meal of lentils, rice and meats could be cooked in a hour given the conditions are right. It would take longer on a cloudy day. The solar cooker looks like a satellite dish, or some kind of put together spare parts disassembled junked out spacecraft.  It also helps with purifying the water, but you don’t need water to cook eggs or potatoes.

The ecological impact is the best part of the solar cooker, all the near by forest of Nepal have forage for fuels. Every day the refugee camp residence would set out to cut down trees for wood to make fires to cook their meals. Illegally, of course, and this was rapidly causing the deforestation rates in Nepal staggering. So, the introduction of the solar cooker, costing the refugees about a dollar, has drastically reduce the devastation of the forest.

When our associate listened to us explain all the benefits this simple cooker provided to the camp and how it made life a little bit more bearable as life goes for refugees, we all decided to invest our funds out to provide as many solar cookers to all refugee camps around the world.
