Solar cinema comes to Naitiri

For the final blog covering my experience in Kenya I have uploaded some images of the Naitiri school children settling down in front of our solar cinema.

Cinema is a fantastic way to demonstrate the capabilities of solar - the spectacular visuals bring home just how much energy is at their disposal with macrosolar.

We held the solar cinema for students and teachers of Naitiri Friends School inside a church next to the school. The church was packed with eager and very excited young people who relished the opportunity to watch a film, most for the first time.

A packed church hall, in anticipation of the solar cinema showing.

Afterwards, I conducted some voxpop interviews with students streaming out of the church, still beaming from their enthralling experience. I asked several of the students about solar energy and what they thought it was.

"Solar energy is from the sun and we can convert for power"

Another student said:

"We have lots of sunshine here but no means of power. Solar panels will help our school and community as solar energy will provide power for free!"
