SolarQuest™ joined with the US Department of Energy, American Electric Power and others to bring solar energy to Porvenir, a remote village in the Amazon region of Bolivia. The goal of this Village Power 2000 project is to provide electricity and an Internet connection to a school in deep rural Porvenir, Bolivia. Porvenir is a village of 600 indigenous people living in the Amazon rainforest. Services are limited -- a diesel generator provides electricity sporadically, there is one satellite telephone and there is a small village school. The school provides education to grade 6. Geographically isolated, youth do not travel to another village or town to continue their education. Educational opportunities literally end at grade 6. The 2,500-watt solar power system and 16 storage batteries provide electricity for lighting for adult and children’s classes, three computers, a satellite receiver/sender for broadband Internet access, a refrigerator/freezer for medicine and vaccines and AEP’s Datapult energy monitor which will show how the solar panels are performing and the electricity is being used on AEP’s web site, www.aep.com/environmental/solar. BPAmoco and the Foundation for Environmental Education provided financing for the equipment. Audipac, Bax Global and Challenge Air Cargo transported tons of equipment from around the U.S. to Santa Cruz, Bolivia, where FAN loaded it into four-wheel-drive trucks for the two-day journey into the rain forest. Forty-eight solar power panels from AEP’s Wind and Solar Research Park at Fort Davis, Texas, were used by New Mexico State University under contract to AEP to engineer the power system. Trace Engineering donated the inverter. With funding from AEP and the New Visions Foundation, SolarQuest and ICORE designed and installed the STMI Wireless satellite system and taught the villagers how to use and maintain the technology, empowering the villagers to communicate with the world. FAN also helped with installation and training. he schoolchildren and villagers of Porvenir have established an Internet dialogue and language arts partnership with Bluffsview Elementary School in Worthington, Ohio, a Columbus suburb using SolarQuest’s Virtual Schoolhouse. Bluffsview school, which has a strong Spanish language program, was AEP’s first Learning from Light school. Porvenir joins 70 other Learning from Light! (see www.aep.com/environmental) schools in a hands-on solar power educational program to teach students and the public worldwide about energy from the sun. -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net ---------- Piksi-L @ somewhere.in.the.world merupakan 'mailing-list' alumni asisten Piksi, ITB, Indonesia.
