Brilliant catch Warwick. After five or six generations we no longer have any idea in the West what it is like to live without electricity. Yet nearly a quarter of the population of the world still lacks it. No lights, no radio and TV, no washing machines, no refrigerators, no hospitals, no way to store vaccines. And yet we are told we’d be doing the world a favour by making power more expensive so it would stay out of their reach???
Very touching, young people determined to improve their lives. Impressive example of people power, started me thinking what happens to western aid in Africa ?
