Solar Power


We have been talking to some people who have some BIG second hand solar batteries that we would like to use for the office solar system. It needs to run the fax, computer, email and lights at night. At the moment we do not have the money to purchase these items so will have to wait a while until the school finances are in better order with more students at the school. In Vanuatu the cost of rice has gone up 50% in the last 6 months so the cost of rations for the school has gone up likewise. This is not helping with the school budget. We are trying to get a bulk deal of 20 tonne of rice in 25 kg bags from Australia for the second half of this year. It would be used to supply both Londua and Ranwadi schools. 1 tonne per week is needed for each week of school for the remainder of this year.
