Orphanage Seeks a Solar Electric System

Though situated high in the mountains, the Bamyan Valley has two things in abundance: potatoes and sunny weather.  The valley does not, however, have any central electric utility.  Thus the orphanage is usually without power as it hasn't money to operate its generator. 

But hopefully they will soon have a small solar electric system that will allow the children light in the evenings.  I received the following message and photographs from the Director:

Dear Mr.Sherman:  
We are thankful of you for your visiting Samar Orphanage in Bamyan Province.Secondly we Appreciate your nice feelings upon the Orphanage and the Childs.
Please find the attached files which are includid two Pictures of Solar and the bill from where we have [previously bought a system] from kabul for one of our Clinics.  For three months we are using that and yet we have received a positive result from it.


Thanks alot dear Mr.Sherman

Best reguards,

These pics are of the system in use at a Shuhada Organization-funded health clinic in Bamyan and it is apparently working wonderfully.  I have the receipt for this systyem.  It cost $1500 in Kabul and would probably total $1700 when delivered and installed at the orphanage.

I am so enthusiastic about providing the children with lights at night as well as promoting renewable energy, that right on the spot I promised the Director I would deliver this system before winter.  

If anyone is interested in providing the money for this system, I will personally see that it is installed and in working order before I even cash your check.  I guarantee you will never receive greater satisfaction from any other donation.
