SolarAid Volunteer Wins Vodafone World of Difference Award

SolarAid volunteer Miguel Ramirez today won a World of Difference award from the Vodafone Foundation, allowing him to spend a year working with SolarAid full time.

In July, the Vodafone Foundation announced that it would offer the opportunity to support four individuals with £25,000 towards their salaries as well as £20,000 in expenses. Now, following a huge response from hundreds of inspirational candidates, the foundation has decided to select six winners instead of the planned four.

Miguel will be assisting SolarAid with its programmes work and IT. SolarAid Director Nick Sireau said: 'This is fantastic news for us. Miguel works extremely hard and is a huge asset for our charity.'
