Belize School Powered By SolarPanel.ca

I said to my wife we can do better and ending up calling a colleague of mine, Randy Rogers with Telco Power and Battery and a former council member of Calmar to see if he could get a hold of the school.

Stephen Lindop the Principal of Calmar school was delighted to hear from us and had indicated that another trip was planned in November where some of the students and himself were heading back. Both Randy and myself were interested in donating batteries and solar panels so that the Belize teacher did not have to use jumper cables anymore.

Following our discussion with Stephen, we thought it best to do a class with the students of Calmar school in June 2009 on how an off-grid system goes together. This way they in turn would be able to show the Belize students.

Below are pictures of trip Stephen and the Calmar students did in November 2009. Als,o we included LED Lights that the school can now be used at night.
