Guest Host:
Rebecca Roberts
As the lone American diplomat in rural Afghanistan, Patricia McArdle received a rare look into the struggles of soldiers and civilians in the war-torn countryside. As she gradually gained acceptance among her peers, McArdle discovered a mission – and an idea for a novel – that would change her life. McArdle joins Rebecca Roberts to discuss her first book, "Farishta," and her work bringing solar ovens to the rural poor in Afghanistan.

What a great simple idea!
How do we listeners change the minds of these "vested interests", who do not believe in the solar cooker technology? How would we be able to share (demonstrate) this technology in the villages in Afghanistan?
