on PBS 11/5 - "Solar Mamas". By Indpendent Lenshttp://www.pbs.org/independentlens/solar-mamas/
Fascinating story of a poor Jordanian woman becoming a simple solar engineer
The Ministry of Environment works to help her get the training so her family can earn money.
Her husband and many in her village dont want her to break out of this depressing cycle.
She studies at Barefoot College in India.
My takeaway from this -
Development undemines intolerance and terrorism - and empowers inividuals from all backgrounds
Energy poverty attacked by solar power.
The Base of the Pyramid wakes up.
