We received an invitation from a local mosque to give a presentation of our cookers to the women congregants in the morning. My aunt told me that the local Muslim women were rarely allowed to come to non-religious activities, and that she had not once been allowed to talk to this particular group of women.
Answering questions about the cooker
After the presentation we held a workshop to show how the cooker worked in real life. The women seemed enthusiastic about using the cooker for their day to day food preparation and asked a lot of questions about the practicalities of our device.

My aunt later told me that our presentation had been so successful that she had been invite back for a series of followup presentations once I left.
