Obia-Zeu, Uganda, Library Project (August 2, 2009)Thank you to everyone whose efforts helped establish two new libraries in Obia-Zeu, Uganda! With your help, Negrini Secondary School and Zeu Primary School now have nearly 10,000 books on their shelves!
This continues Max's story, which began with his 7th grade science project on solar cooking that led him to Uganda to start a solar cooking program for the people in Fr. Alexander Inke's village of Obia-Zeu. Max returned home to talk about his experience and engaged a community to get involved, giving presentations at Northeast Ohio schools, churches and other organizations.
We hope you enjoy these pictures - they tell the story of how a community came together to make a dream a reality. For more information, including background, the ongoing solar project, and photos of everyday life in Obia-Zeu village, see www.imageevent.com/uganda.
Thank you for taking the time to share our experience! |

How the Obia-Zeu Projects Started (September 2007 - March 2008)My name is Max Ozimek. In September, 2007, I decided to do my 7th grade school science project on solar cooking. I built two cookers out of cardboard and aluminum foil in my front yard in Strongsville, Ohio. I found out that solar cooking helps people in developing countries who walk long distances to collect firewood, especially women who may not always be safe.
Also in 7th grade I was a volunteer at Holy Family Home & Hospice in Parma, Ohio, where I met chaplain Fr. Alexander Inke. Father told me about the challenges of life in his village of Obia-Zeu, Uganda. I was surprised to hear that his mom and other women spend hours walking for to gather firewood and to collect water which isn't always safe to drink.
I told Father about my science project and how it could help. I wrote to Solar Cookers International for advice. I learned more, talked to people, and gave presentations about life in Uganda. It is now 2009 and I've been to Uganda twice - once in 2008 to start the solar project, and again this year to do more solar project work and to establish two libraries of almost 10,000 books in Obia-Zeu. Please visit the other albums at this site for information on life in Obia-Zeu, the solar project and the library project.
A project I am now dreaming about is for a well in Obia-Zeu village. I am looking for support for the project in ideas and funds. For more information please contact me at m.ozimek@sbcglobal.net. Thank you for your interest! |

SEMPER FI 1 (12 April 2013)Semper Fi 1 is a team of volunteers who provide Military Honors to veterans of all services at the National Cemetery in Riverside, CA.
On 12 April I had the great priviledge of visiting SF 1 where I photographed their activities of the morning. First, the Marines & Sailors (Navy Corpsmen who served with Marines) gather before the first service of the day. Next, the team meets for rehearsal at their CP (Command Post), including proper folding of the flag, rendering the 21 gun salute and all the details involved in the ceremony.
The first service of the day begins with arrival of the team, movement into assigned places, arrival of relatives and guests, rendering of honors, Taps, 21 Gun Salute, folding and presentation of the Colors, and finally the withdrawal of the Honors Detail.
Members of SF 1 routinely perform for 4 to 5 veteran services daily, sometimes as many as 12. Their service is purely voluntary with each member bearing the expenses of uniforms, travel, etc. SF 1 is not funded by the government and welcomes the support of the public. For details, visit their website @: www.againtheyserve.org
