Solar demo

Here's a picture of Raul, our Avina counter-part in Argentina, demonstrating a solar panel to indigenous people. Raul was showing them how a small 1 watt solar panel can directly power a radio, which is fantastic for them as many of them spend weeks with their animals in very isolated areas with no means of communications.

Plans for our project in South America are gathering pace, although we still need more funds in order to recruit a volunteer and send him or her there for a few months to get things off the ground.
