Bringing light to a rural community is a big step in its upliftment. At the same time, this important change has to be carefully accompanied by a process of inclusive dialogue for awareness and understanding of local responsibility.

Our ambition is to design T-shirts with a "Manuel of Use" in the form of a comic so that ambassadors from the village become "walking info boards" (see example of the NGO Girafa Solar).

These T-shirts should fulfill an "educational mission" in the work with the local community. We would like to equip about 10 - 20 local villagers (men, women, children) so they can educate their fellow villagers about the use and possibilities of solar energy (electricity, light, internet, refrigerator for medicines). 

What we need would is somebody with the skills to support us creating:
- the comic story board
- the virtual design for T-shirt print
