bwelero kaliya youth group's solar power not in condition,not an attractive place for youths. Bwelero kaliya youth group centre was well electrified with solar power,it has been an attractive place for the youths within bwelero area as most of the youth could gather during the day at least to do some activities,watching whats going on around the world on tv,learning some computer skills,understanding how solar works,studying and reading during the evening etc, but now if you can go to this centre,there is no any solar power working cause their have been a problem that was caused by a lightining,causing some of the solar installation like the main inventor got broken,some of the installation got loosen and all the system not functioning well.nobody doesn't know what to do to fix this problem its very pity to the community.
I'll follow this up with SolarAid Hi Ophanuel. Nice to hear from you! I'm really sad to hear that the Bwelero system isn't working and that it's not been maintained very well. I will pass this message on to SolarAid to see what they can do to support you or put you in contact with someone who can service / repair the system. All the very best, Andy

am i doing the right thing? im going to mt.kenya in 4 days and im not fit but it is an opportunity of a lifetime because a friend is paying for me. i love nature so much but i have been so busy that i didnt get enough time to work out and be fit for this trip.
ive read so many facts about mt.kenya and it has made me so scared that im considering to back out.
so my question is, can an unfit person make it? pliz i need your honest opinion.
btw i love your blog and wish id get to enjoy it like you guys.
looking forward to your reply
SCARY Really enjoyed reading your truthful account - my daughter is as I type en route to Moses Camp with a group raising money for peaksfoundation.org - it's their fifth year of organisng such expeditions - it's actually called 3Peaks3Weeks - Mt Kenya, Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro in yes, 3 Weeks. (with the odd rest day inbetween). I have been living with this plan for about 18 months and had just about reconciled myself to her 'adventure' - glad I didn't read your blog before she went! She is deeply committed to raising money for and standards in, Africa and would not anyway have been deterred by anything I said - I only hope and pray she has the sense to stop if she feels anything like unsafe. Well done you for your achievement.
Hair raising! Hi Andy
once again, reading your blogs has me filled with awe! The climb (& descent) of Mount Kenya had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck. Quite a life changing experience for you - well done! I am full of admiration for you both.
hey u dont know me but as a senegalese, i have to say that we are glad that u enjoy your trip and had fun. they are many wonderful countries in the world and exploring them doesn t kill!!! so from every body from senegal whether they are there right now or in the USA( myself and other) right now, we thank u and appreciate ur visit...
National Express What a trip. Sounds a bit hairy on the bus but you obviously made it safely. Your experiences with Mr Banda must have been most frustrating and I hope that you are able to retrieve some of the missing material. You description of securing the solar panels sounds like very hard work and I only hope that your pupils appreciate all that you have donedespite all the problems that you have faced. No doubt the next few weeks will go all too quickly and the winter over here will be waiting for you as it is still very mild. Take care luv dad x
What a journey! Sorry to hear that you have been unwell and hope that the tonsils are back to normal now. It was great to hear you the other day at the Lodge and I obviously just caught you in time before you moved off to Tanzania. It all sounds a bit different to catching a No 3 bus to the West End but glad you made it safely in the end. Have a great Christmas and hope to talk to again soon Lots of love Dad
Merry Christmas ! Hi Andy and Kath,
Have a fantastic Christmas out there and all the best for 2007.
Hope you continue to have great adventures.
Love,
Kirsty
Mosh Pit! Oh my long (sort of lost) missed friend ... I've only a second, but SO GLAD you made it out alive!
Miss you too much, Bod!
Will write next time I am near a pc in private!

hey, solar dude Hey, Andy
Just wanted to say, keep up all the great work out there- and together we really can save the planet!! I've taken a leaf out of your book and am now cycling to work every day. Tell you what, this lycra business is a bit itchy, innit!!! It's getting hot in heeerrrre! So take off my cagoule!!
Cheers,
Dave
No tea without fire Good day to you Brother Andrew,
with Christmas fast approaching I have been asked by Father Ted if you can help out with a little query now. This year, the folks on Craggy Island would like to - ahem - erect (phnar) an ENORMOUS Christmas tree which will so FANTASTICALLY lit that it will be visible from the mainland. This great visual feast will also give off so much power that I should like to use all that surplus heat to make festive cups of tea non- stop, around the clock. Can you tell us, is there some sort of solar kit we can order in? As we only have 3 hours of sunlight per day I think it prudent to begin harvesting the light as soon as possible.
Many thanks, God bless

sunshine at night? ...it's the future, Jerry. Keep the marvellous blogs coming Andy. Can you advise us how best to illuminate a 20 ft high Santa on the roof of the Phoenix Club, using only the power of the moon? Much obliged. All the best, Brian, Jerry, Ray Von, Paddy,Max, Les, Alan, Kenny senior and junior, Mary and Marion.
Beautiful people! Just reading about the Bwelero Kaliya Youth Group - what amazing young people. So full of admiration for what you are doing - you can change their lives so dramatically and they in turn can teach others. Well done!!!
Hot stuff Hmmmm. Made me look at the palid autumn sunlight filtering through the trees of Pimlico with a strange new affection.
Keep them coming BlogBod.
plop hello andrew, all this news about solar things is all well and good but what the people really want to know is, have you turned your pants inside out yet and have you got any toilet roll left, thank you please?

What a nightmare! Obviously your negotiation skills have stood you in very good stead although it is a bit much when you have to pay the import duty!I really hope that you can now get on with the project without any further hassle.By the way the flat was fine and the plants looked good and appreciated the drink.The beard looks good. When is the next trim due?
Love Dad
What you should have done... What you should have done was attach the solar panels to your car and then you wouldn't have needed alternators, or petrol...oh hang on though...it was dark wasn't it? Perhaps my idea is slightly flawed. Something to think about for next time though?
Lovely to see your face........ Hey you, I love your style! Think you should give up solar century and take up travel writing and photography. I'm more than happy to carry your equipment. So looking forward to joining the African adventure, slapping on sun lotion and making sure you where that sun hat! lots of love Baff x x x
Monty Python has nothing on you! Hi Andy, I am almost speechless - sounds like a Monty Python Sketch and I have been chuckling away to mysellf here. Your descriptive journal is amazing and great to hear that through all that you (mostly) were able to keep your sense of humour. Pity you didn't pack paper underpants!! Don't suppose for one minute you have a washing machine handy! Hope things go smoother for a while. Keep safe. L x
weirdy beardy The bod squad (brighton area) is loving the wild weirdy beardy cider festival look but- ahem- where is your nice junglist sunhat please? remember you're a ginger. more pix please! love sister kimbo xxx
