Solar Empowerment

We are never off problem. Here is our partner Praveen handing out #SOLAR flashlights to fishermen in Tortola. He was there on a cruise and took a stock of these flashlights with him.

We started a fundraiser on Global Giving @GlobalGiving specifically to buy #Solar lanterns to school #Children in Sri Lanka in partnership with @WorldVisionLK . Please help us brighten their futures. globalgiving.org/projects/so…

We are starting to raise money for #SOLAR lanterns for school #children in Sri Lanka. If you can, please donate to our project @GlobalGiving. globalgiving.org/projects/so…

I met last week with the Most Venerable Maharagama Dhammasiri at the #Buddhist temple in DC. He is very influential in the Buddhist community in the US. We hope to enlist his aid in getting our #SOLAR lanterns to poor villages in Sri #Lanka, especially to the school #Children.

From Myanmar: "Before I receive this lantern, I used candle to breastfeed my child and to do things for my child. Using candle for lighting, I was worry for the fire and also I got not enough light. Cost incurred buying candles. Now, we’ve got this lantern." #SOLAR @WorldVision

We sent 1000 #solar lanterns to World Vision Myanmar a couple months ago. Just got these pictures back. It is amazing what a $2.95 #solar lantern can do. #Burmese #children @WorldVision

I just donated to the Hyattsville CROP Hunger Walk! Please join us to impact our community and communities around the world! crophungerwalk.org/hyattsvil…

Dropped Aaron and Buttercup off at the Greyhound station yesterday. He is on his way to Maine to work with a friend who grows #marijuana. First we had to sort thru his stuff and decide what to pack. It was incredible. 13 sleeping bags! All given to himsince Nov 2019. #Homeless

Very distressing article in today's @washingtonpost by @petulad. We've been supporting these folks with #solar lanterns, blankets, hand warmers and more. We made many friends on these streets. Now we will have to find them again to continue our support. washingtonpost.com/local/get…

We went down to K St on Sunday to hand out #solar lanterns, handwarmers and other cold weather gear to the #Homeless. It was a very satisfying trip. Much gratitude. Pls help us continue our good work. Donate at goto.gg/43635 #WashingtonDC #poverty

Please help us get list with @GlobalGiving so we can tap into donors all over the world. We need at least 40 unique donors. Pls click here and donate $10 or more. goto.gg/43635 Thank you. #poverty #children #homelessness #SOLAR

I was coming home from a #CFC fundraising event when I saw this lady struggling to set up her tent. I helped her and also gave her a #SOLAR lantern as a tent-warming gift. The lantern won’t actually warm her tent, but it will at least give her light in the night. #Homeless #DC

It's cold on M St in #WashingtonDC, even more so if you don't have a tent. My generous neighbors donated comforters, tarps, and blankets to make the winter a little easier. I took gave them out last Sunday. Stuff keeps coming in so I plan to go again in a couple weeks. #Homeless

We got a bunch of #solar lanterns to a maternity hospital in #Uganda w the help of our partner, @mcleanbible. They put one lantern in each crib for mothers to use when the power goes out. While they were there, one mother gave birth under the light of our lanterns. #health

We are in full fundraising mode now with the @CFC. Here we are at @USGAO telling our story to their wonderful employees. Our CFC # is 53902. If you are a federal worker or military member, please show us some love this season. #solar #homelessness

We partnered with Be More Caring and City of Refuge this week to distribute #solar lanterns to our #Homeless friends in #Baltimore. They were very grateful to have light at night. Many thanks to @Josh Handschuh and his wonderful volunteers. @_BeMoreCaring @WhereGoodWorks

Just receive these pictures from @WorldVisionLK, our partner in #SriLanka. This is what keeps me going, knowing that these precious #children now have light in the night. #solar #education

He did not have enough money to buy a candle for his tent. So he prayed God would give him money for a candle. God answered his prayers with a #solar lantern. Much brighter, cleaner, and safer. @MarthasTableorg #homelessness #DC

This is a wonderful partnership. We working now on our next shipment of solar lanterns
