Anna Warmuth travels ahead to Ethiopia
The second trip to Ethiopia as a part of the Ethiopia solar project begins:
On Wednesday, 03 in October 2012 Anna Warmuth, a student from the Wldorfschule Wendelstein, launched her flight from Nurnberg to Ethiopia. Anna will travel as a vanguard of the project team 2012 to prepare everything for the big group. This means the collection of the solar water pump at the airport in Addis, the organization of the materials and the preparation of the arrival for the project team.

Community Center of Ecopia basically completed
First pictures of the house in Chencha - power is still missing
After the beginning of our works at the main building of the Ecopia-Organisation in Chencha, we now got the first pictures of the completed building. Mitslal Kifleyesus sent us the pictures last week after her trip to Chencha. On the pictures can be seen, what a beautiful and commodious building has arisen out of our first works on the foundation walls in autumn 2011. The complex of Ecopia should serve the farmers in Chencha to conserve and refine their crop, for example fruits or herbs. But therefore they need electricity. So electricity should be produced by our photovoltaic system, which will be installed by our project team in autumn 2012 next to the main building. By the way – the toilet and shower we have erected in autumn 2011 still work faultlessly.
