METV – Installing Solar Power at a Youth Hostel in rural Nepal – Episode 11


Hello everyone! Sorry for the long delay between this video and the last… In this video, Buddhi and I along with 3 new volunteers and a number of other helpers travel with the Himalayan Light Foundation from Mukli to Jubu where we help install 3 solar panels at a Youth Hostel. This provided electricity and light to 8 rooms, 2 kitchens and 2 toilets for the first time ever. It was very rewarding to finally see the light switch on after a countdown and the 30 or so people’s faces light up… After we were finished, Buddhi Dhai gave a rousing speech along with some of the others to speak about the Poverty Alleviation Fund, which is helping to bring roads all the way from “mainstream” Kathmandu to these rural areas. After reluctance, the people agreed to support and help the effort. Afterwards, we are all showered in blooming flower wreaths and covered literally from head to toe in red dye… It was wild… Hope you like it :) To donate to the next solar panel project for a rural orphanage click the link below: www.paypal.com Or if you would like to help donate to the Himalayan Light Foundation, please go to their website at: www.HLF.org.np
