Good day all,
We don't have much progress to report on this project, as the students have been on summer vacation and the new school year is just beginning. Unfortunately, we have had a lot of turnover in student leads for the project, and the island has been suffering a number of infrastructure problems that have been resulting in frequent blackouts that have been quite disruptive to life on the island. In discussions with our project partner, Dr. Orange at Etelman Observatory, we have decided that the best path forward is to put the project on hold the rest of the year as we wait for personnel and infrastructure to stabilize. Towards that end, we'll be using the distributed funds to acquire material that will help the observatory with its public outreach work. Our plans are to build new collaborations with Univeristy of Virgin Islands faculty working on sustainability challenges throughout 2025 so that we can add UVI as official partners to the Greenworks program in 2026.
We'll provide one final update at the end of the year before we shut down this particular project. We thank you for your support over the years. You can support Greenworks through our 2025 Launch Fund.
With gratitude,
Lev
