It took our volunteers almost 9,000 km in the air, 35 km on the road and 9 km on the water to reach the village of Purubiakirú in Panama.

The solar equipment was purchased locally and transported by pirogue, the only way to reach the village.

   .

To minimize the impact on the village, the panels were installed at the top of the hill, in a field. The batteries, inverter, etc. were installed in a technical room, built in 2 days by the Embera Indians.

The village now has 4,400 Wp with two voltage levels, 110 and 230V, as well as internet access.

.  

Our 4 volunteers thus had the opportunity to spend 6 days with them: an extraordinary experience they won’t soon forget: “the most beautiful mission he has carried out for Energy Assistance”, as Oriano sayd.

Many thanks and bravo to our 4 volunteers Oriano V., Dominique T., Jean-Luc R., Tony MdH. for this incredible mission,
