The next phase: Education

Dear Solar Maasai Supporters,

As you know, we trained, tested and graduated students in solar and electrical while working in Kenya. However, this is not the end of the road for our brave scholars. Two of them, one female and one male, were chosen for their exceptional performance, great attitude and solid character to pursue further education. This education comes in the form of attending the Solar Living Institute, the training and demonstration site that both Kevin and I originally learned the ropes of renewable and sustainable practices from. Now these two amazing Maasai are getting the opportunity to attend. Their names are Maxmillah and Jonathan and this video, produced by random pictures, introduces them better than I can.

They will be starting their program in early March, so keep a look out for a chance to meet them. They will in California for nine months so there will definitely be events where they will be around. Also stay tuned for our next event coming up on the 30th of this month, more info later this week.

Ashe Oleng,
Barrett
