going green

In January and February Moravian work crews arrived in Ahuas, Honduras. They were sent to complete a project that would update a clinic. They set up a solar powered system to power a clinic there. This part of the project cost $25,000. In the past when they turned on the generator to do a surgery in the day it would also charge up the batteries. They decided to do this because fuel prices are rising. In the first year it saved the clinic $10,000. This year the Canadian District Moravians raised enough money to buy more solar panels. When the crews left this year, they could run the operating room and air conditioning in all the buildings.
