A common
barrier to informing, educating, and entertaining in Uganda is power. Power is
expensive and unreliable (it consistently goes off for hours to days). Brandy
Yagelniski, one of our Canadian interns, created a fundraising webpage which,
thanks to the generosity of many people, successfully fundraised enough money
to purchase solar panels for NSCRC. Solar energy enables NSCRC to become self
sufficient, have consistent access to sustainable power, and take a huge step
towards being environmentally friendly. More importantly, having solar energy allows the community members regular access
to reading materials every evening; a time when students want to do homework
and study as well as many individuals have free time to read. Brandy Yagelniski
and everyone at NSCRC would like to acknowledge the incredible generosity of so
many friends and family member’s world wide. Without you’re help, solar energy
at NSCRC would not have been possible.
