| The turbine standing proud - and more importantly, spinning! |
Well today we had a very late start, all a little tired from the big day (and night) yesterday. Then we went down to the install site to check if everything was still working! Thankfully it was, and it was really nice to see that family had painted the room where we had put the light. Although it seems like a tiny change, it felt much more than that and brought home to us the difference that a light can make in peoples lives. And although we were a little disappointed to only get one turbine installed it was nice to know that we had helped WindAid (even if only a little) in their aim at bringing cheap clean energy to the people of Peru.
The next day the others were heading down to Cuzco and Machu Picchu,
while I was taking a bus over the mountains towards the jungle to give
Thida a surprise visit in Tarapoto. We decided to round off the program
by sitting down to watch
The Age of Stupid,
another hard hitting documentary that gave a reminder of the other side
of why WindAid and many other around the world are trying
to encourage a movement towards using clean, safe and reliable forms of
energy production.
