Running a weekly mile - to fuel a Maasai school

Having decided that solar energy was the most reliable the children of Endonyiosidai and Cowbridge saw the first solar panels being installed on the roof of two local schools. The contract was awarded to a local Kenyan/Maasai company who agreed to provide training in the operation and upkeep of the system. It is hoped that the power will be used to light the school;  to pump water to storage tanks, charge mobile phone batteries, and in the future to power any donated laptops. There was great excitement in Ysgol Iolo Morgannwg as well as on the Maasai Mara. Lets see what use we can make of this fantastic opportunity. The funding was raised by the children of Ysgol Iolo, their parents and friends through various events.
