SOLAR-POWERED INTERNET CONNECTION FOR REMOTE BOLIVIAN VILLAGE


On Oct 27 Porvenir was linked to the world wide web!

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.
