Solar kick off – solar powered World Cup viewing
We helped locals set up a solar powered viewing area for the World Cup in Jericho, South Africa. The solar project is a critical intervention for Greenpeace because it highlights the particular South African paradox of an event being held in a country where the majority of its citizens cannot afford to buy tickets to attend. The solar project answers this by bringing the world up into outlying rural communities and shows the possibilities that exist by going green. Working with Madiba a Toloane, the local high school, Greenpeace has trained 15 teenagers to install the solar panels that will be powering the community hall during the games.
