Two SolarAid fans, Chris Drumey and Rob Bell, will soon be embarking on a European-African adventure. They are taking part in the Budapest to Bamako Rally- the world's largest charity rally- to raise money for SolarAid.

The 'Green Knights' will be driving 8,314km, through 9 countries in just 15 days! And they will be taking their knight suits with them all the way!

Although it will be a tough and demanding adventure it will all be worth it. The team have chosen to support a village in a remote region of Mauritania, where there is no mains power. The knights hope to improve the lives of the villagers by helping them leverage the most abundant, sustainable and cost-free resource they have...the sun. They will be delivering and setting up a solar lighting system so that villagers can work, study or run businesses after sundown. The team will also be taking solar cookers to provide a safer and more sustainable means of cooking.
