What we learned

It was great to be able to visit our previous installation and learn how the power we are generating is being used. We were pleasantly surprised at how much the school and community were positively doing with the electricity supplied. The school had decided to divided the library into 2 sections so students in the back could self study in the evening while a teacher could hold an evening class in the front. They used the book shelves already in the library to separate the areas. We also learned that the local community had started to used the building for evening meetings of the village elders. During the day they are charging 14 lanterns for the teachers to take home at night as well as cell phones. Carl and I also donated a computer and printer on our last visit which the teachers have been using to start teaching basic skills. There are computer teaching aids available and approved by the Kenyan government that they will use once they get more laptops donated.
