Solar Lights in Nepal

The project is launched! 

The community centers in remote Gilung in Nepal have no electricity or lights, just like much of rural Nepal. This project will bring solar lights to the two community buildings.

Here is a picture of the inside of the community center.



Here is a picture of the committee members in front of the community center.



I've been trying to get the site launched for my friends who have expressly said they would like to contribute to the project, although I'd like the page to mainly serve as a gateway for information about the trip because it's set up quite well. So I hope you'll have a look just to see the specifics of the project!

Update 11.8.2013: the project is complete and the link is no longer active. I've removed the link.

Preparations

Rabies, polio and hepatitis shots today. Pills for typhoid. Purchased a Steri-pen water purifier. The iPhone's on an energy diet - two weeks already it gets all its power exclusively from 3W portable solar cells. The Nepal trip approaches.
