Great Surprise!!!!!

Computers need power. Batteries need recharging. Geekan is off the grid and presently powerless. A renewable source of power would not only power computers, but would also allow the campus to be used for adult literacy classes in the evening and possibly provide refrigeration for medication from the village health clinic.

I received a phone call from Victor Helb of the Liberian Literacy Foundation. His organization provides educational resources, builds libraries and delivers renewable energy to Liberia. Victor proposed that the Liberian Literacy Foundation install a wind/solar power system and establish a library at the Geekan school. The Geekan people have agreed to make their facility available to the wider community of River Gee county.

Pending resources, Victor hopes to have a team of engineers visit Geekan to install a renewable energy system sometime between December and March 2009.
