ADES opens its third centre in May. The new location is Morondava. The opening speeches are broadcast on the radio, followed by a two-hour special programme, and national television is also said to have aired sequences.

At the end of the year, ADES had 42 employees. This is almost double the number of the previous year. The same applies to the sales figures: While there were 725 units in 2007, ADES already sold 1480 solar cookers in 2008. Otto Frei, meanwhile, continues to coordinate the activities in Madagascar with his wife Lisa and describes the ups and downs of life on the island in various reports.

After initial talks with myclimate took place in 2005, the process for CO2 certification, which is to secure the flow of financing in the future, will begin in 2008. Hans Peter Frei, Otto Frei's brother, is significantly involved in this process, along with other projects. Together with him, the board and 30 volunteers are making an enormous effort. The unpaid working hours correspond to almost five full-time positions. In order to handle the numerous tasks as professionally as possible, ADES holds the first training day for the volunteers in April. In the annual report, Regula states: "The workload of individual board members and Hans Peter Frei is so great that an office will soon be necessary".

The crowning glory of the year is the acceptance of the Doron Prize in November. The certificate reads: "The Board of Trustees awards the Doron Prize 2008 to the ADES Association for its extraordinary commitment.
