Proveniente de Monduli, Tanzania, a 9.042 millas de distancia de Denver, Kisioki Mokito ha viajado m\u00e1s lejos de todos nuestros voluntarios para trabajar como voluntario en GRID Alternatives Colorado. El viaje solar de Kisioki comenz\u00f3 hace cinco a\u00f1os, cuando se le present\u00f3 a Robert Lange, un f\u00edsico y defensor de la energ\u00eda solar. Bob Lange ten\u00eda la misi\u00f3n de dise\u00f1ar y producir estufas de le\u00f1a eficientes para las mujeres maasai y complementar la utilidad de estas estufas con la producci\u00f3n de electricidad. Kisioki comenz\u00f3 como traductor y fue promovido a Gerente de Proyecto del Proyecto de Estufas y Energ\u00eda Solar para los Maasai.<\/p>\n

Hasta la fecha, el proyecto Maasai Stoves and Solar ha instalado un total de 10 sistemas fotovoltaicos independientes de la red el\u00e9ctrica, 1600 peque\u00f1os sistemas solares dom\u00e9sticos de 10 vatios y m\u00e1s de 2000 estufas. Los 10 sistemas fotovoltaicos independientes de la red el\u00e9ctrica est\u00e1n organizados en torno a un boma (un grupo de seis a doce casas) y proporcionan la electricidad para un refrigerador y una computadora compartidos. Las mujeres locales forman los equipos de instalaci\u00f3n, lo que les permite asumir funciones de liderazgo.<\/p>\n

A medida que ampl\u00edan su producci\u00f3n de sistemas fotovoltaicos compartidos fuera de la red el\u00e9ctrica, Kisioki busca desarrollar m\u00e1s conocimientos sobre la instalaci\u00f3n de paneles solares. Kisioki dice: \u201cQuer\u00edamos ampliar nuestros conocimientos asistiendo a Solar Energy International y haciendo voluntariado en GRID. Quer\u00eda encontrar un lugar donde practicar antes de volver a Tanzania; por eso vine a GRID Alternatives. Y estamos listos. Tenemos este gran modelo\u2026 y estamos buscando fondos para poder introducir esta gran tecnolog\u00eda en los Maasai.\u201d Gracias a una subvenci\u00f3n de $5000 de la USAID, Kisioki pudo venir a Estados Unidos para asistir a una semana de intensivos cursos de formaci\u00f3n solar. Solar Energy International<\/a>, en Paonia, CO, y m\u00e1s tarde hablar\u00e1 en Washington D.C. sobre su trabajo relacionado con el empoderamiento de las mujeres y la energ\u00eda solar.<\/p>\n

El 15 de octubre, Kisioki se ofreci\u00f3 voluntario en GRID Alternatives en el sistema de viviendas multifamiliares de 80,5 kW Sol Naciente en Fort Morgan, CO. Este proyecto aportar\u00e1 los beneficios de la energ\u00eda solar a 50 familias de bajos ingresos que trabajan en la industria agr\u00edcola. Kisioki valor\u00f3 enormemente la posibilidad de participar en este tipo de voluntariado y espera poder aplicar lo aprendido en sus proyectos en \u00c1frica, en particular la importancia que GRID pone en la seguridad y en la normalizaci\u00f3n del proceso de instalaci\u00f3n.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
