Dear Donor,
Despite all the difficulties we have encountered along the way, and there were plenty, we are so happy to share with you that the lights are shining bright in Kamarata.
As you can recall from the last reports, we have faced delays in each phase of the project due to various contingencies linked mainly to gasoline shortages, shipment and nationalization of technical equipment, and difficulties with suppliers to meet demands.
We battled vigorously through each and every one of those difficulties and from february the 12th to the 20th of 2020 we installed solar panels system that will generate clean and renewable energy for the community of Kamarata, more specifically, the Rural Hospital of Kamarata and the High School U.E. Fray Víctor Carvajal (the only one with a computer lab in the whole community).
It has been quite a journey, with ups and downs that required team work and adaptation, at first we hoped to provide clean and renewable energy to four different buildings in the community but due to the constant flux of difficulties, mainly the ravaging economic inflation of the country, we had to resize and rethink the project.
Nevertheless, we are pleased to share with you some of the main results and impact of the project:
Of course there is still so much work to do (and we are on it), but now we can say that we achieved the project’s main goal: To better prepare the community to receive Tourists and improve their quality of life in a Sustainable and Clean kind of way.
Our dream is to provide more schools and homes with clean and renewable energy for the Kamarata community.
Thank you for being part of this journey, without you any of this would have not been possible. We will let you know as soon as we start working on the next phases.
Is an honor to have you as part of this changemakers team!
