Helped to build a school in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), grades 1 - technical school with computer lab and shops powered originally by 2 wind generators and 2 diesel generators. Main 2010 project was to build an electricity substation and connect it to the hydroelectric grid powered by the Congo River. So the school now has cheap and clean electricity.
The school is now self-supporting and self-governing, charges low tuition and provides work programs for parents and free education for orphans
Expanding to two more villages, using local labor and material. Furniture, doors and windows for local schools are made in our school workshops.
Obtained nearly 400 computers that were shipped to schools in DRC, Nicaragua, Liberia, Cameroon, and inner city school in Washington, DC.
