WE CARE Solar

Dr. Laura Stachel never meant to be a social innovator, and she never imagined working in developing countries. When Dr. Stachel was invited to visit Nigeria in 2008 to find out why so many women were dying there during childbirth, she was flabbergasted to discover that in many areas, women were giving birth without electricity -- sometimes in near total darkness. With her husband, a solar expert, she devised a way to bring light to clinics in Nigeria and other countries with poor infrastructure. Find out how their innovation has had instant and powerful results in clinics around the world.

Thank God that we have such wonderful people, who care about humanity. On the one hand we have idiots who are out to kill innocents for their weird ideas, lust for power and money and on the other who are ready to toil for each and every single life. Truly a wonderful and inspiring life.

MORE ANS MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING SOLAR ENERGY. We have a station under construction near Shelbyville Kentucky and People have mixed emotions. I say they should go with it. This story was inspirational and hope Solar goes World wide.
