Avelino Barcellos, graduado del programa de formaci\u00f3n laboral local de Proteus, estaba emocionado de poder tener instalado el sistema solar por parte de voluntarios de GRID Alternatives. \u2019Es como una gran alivio poder tener energ\u00eda solar en mi casa\u201c, afirma Avelino.<\/p>\n<p>Durante un desafortunado evento, Avelino perdi\u00f3 un brazo cuando era joven. Aunque, tener un brazo podr\u00eda considerarse un inconveniente para muchos, Avelino acepta el reto y contin\u00faa llevando adelante su carrera en la industria solar para demostrar que se puede lograr cualquier cosa con el esfuerzo necesario. \u201cUno es solo tan limitado como se deja ser\u201d, afirma Avelino, quien actualmente trabaja en una granja solar.<\/p>\n<p>Como exalumno y voluntario de Proteus, la pasi\u00f3n de Avelino por GRID Alternatives motiv\u00f3 su participaci\u00f3n en cada instalaci\u00f3n. \u201cMi experiencia como voluntario con GRID Alternatives fue incre\u00edble porque me trataron como una familia. Aprecio el hecho de que no me trataron de manera diferente\u201d, afirma Avelino. \u201c\u00a1Barcellos, es una persona incre\u00edble! Inicialmente, hubo preocupaciones sobre la seguridad general al momento de su primera participaci\u00f3n como voluntario; sin embargo, cuando todos vimos lo que es capaz de hacer, las palabras \u201csin l\u00edmites y trabajador incansable\u201d describen el car\u00e1cter de Avelino\u201d, afirma el supervisor de instalaciones solares, Andy Rusli.
