Plans for microsolar in Southern Argentina

We've been developing plans for a microsolar programme in Southern Argentina. It's extremely exciting stuff. Patagonia is known for its amazing scenery, but few people realise that there is lots of poverty in the region. Access to electricity is also limited in the rural areas.

So we're teaming up with Gustavo Gennuso, a social entrepreneur who is very active in Bariloche in Patagonia. He already runs a network of schools and appropriate technology projects and is the former Chief Scientist of the nuclear reactor in Bariloche. He's now a specialist in renewable energy and gets volunteer assistance from engineers who still work at the nuclear reactor. That's pretty cool!

Our plan is to work with Gustavo to train disadvantaged youth to build and sell microsolar products, such as solar lanterns, solar radios and solar chargers for mobile phones.
