Mission Accomplished!

Today we got the Asus Eee Pc working on 'our man in Kenya's' solar set up. Duncan has now kindly agreed to be a part of the DIYNGO network. He has a system to be envious of in his home, as described earlier. More importantly though Duncan realises the importance of this approach for the benefit of his community. He makes an exemplorary Champion of the renewable approach. We will no doubt have more to say about all these experiences upon return to the UK. A newsletter certainly seems called for now.

For now, we can almost rest easy in the satisfaction of a job well done by all concerned. All that really remains is to perhaps carry out the remaining one or two interviews of the key players. It would be nice to now further explore this beautiful location. After all, its preservation is partly what we're all about.

Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed to this project to date. This includes all those who have donated in various ways in order to make the project a success, so far. I hope we can all share in the sense of optimism and satisfaction which I am personally feeling at this time.

Sure, this is 'just' a feasibility study to a large extent but it does show that with local co-operation, networking and reliance upon the finer aspects of human nature that some dreams may be acheivable.

I sincerely do hope though that this will not prove to be another infamous, premature 'mission accomplished'. I guess I'll be happier now when all the kit, data and myself return to base for further cogitation and dissemination.

Cheers,

DIYNGO
