Powerwells and Substation 33
Nick Kamols, former Rotaractor and son of Rotarian Peter told us about a wonderful business he and his partners have set up, working with Substation 33 to repurpose batteries and provide Powerwell Home Solar Systems to disadvataged peoples - so far particularly in remote areas of Indonesia. Check out their website www.powerwells.org The info below is copied straight from their website - well worth seeing what they are doing to promote a more sustainable future for the world.
"At PowerWells we repurpose used lithium-ion batteries to give them a second life - diverting waste from landfill, and providing energy to the billion people without power.
Our battery repurposing process, brings back to life over 80% of batteries previously discarded, and our smart battery management system, extends the life by another 8 - 16 years.
Integrated with Pay As You Go technology, our batteries are more affordable then ever."
Shelterbox
Peter Morley, Redcliffe Sunrise Rotary Club and District 9620 Chair of Shelterbox, updated us with the way Shelterbox works today. No longer do we buy a box, and can then track it with a barcode to find out where in the world it has been used. In today's world, boxes are created to suit the particular need for each disaster. Much work is done before they are deployed, in gaining permission from the country where the disaster has happened, determining the need for the support, then creating the boxes and arranging for delivery. check out www.shelterboxaustralia.org.au
School of St Jude - Tanzania
What an amazing picture of the School of St Jude in 2021. In the year 2000, at the District 9630 Conference of PDG Mel Langley, I first heard about the dream of Gemma, a girl from Armidale in NSW, of building a school to fight poverty through education. Rotarians and many others throughout the world have since supported this dream, and the story is amazing. Just the logistics alone of transporting the students to and from school these days, is shown in the attached document.
