SolarAid would like to say a massive thank you to volunteer Prasanna Krishnan, who has recently left our Argentinian project to pursue other career plans. Prasanna joined the South America pilot project in June 09 and stayed with us until February this year. Pras originally joined the programme to support international volunteer Karel Van Zand and took over the project when Karel returned to Malawi in September.

During his time with SolarAid, Pras oversaw the training of entrepreneurs, ensured products were imported successfully, created and maintained relationships with partners and supported entrepreneurs with their first sales. Prasanna's commitment and enthusiasm was integral to the project's success.

"Estuvo bueno trabajar con Pras, un buen tipo y con mucho empuje. Desde jujuy te deseamos lo mejor en tus nuevos rumbos. Un abrazo." (It was great to work with Pras, a wonderful and very enthusiastic person. From Jujuy we wish you the best of luck with your new life.)
