Today the Timorese trainees saw the light during class.

It’s day three and the group have been doing some practical exercises, reading circuit diagrams, wiring up lights and switches and using the multimeters to test their wiring.

The students (and teachers) have been very pleased and excited to see their small lighting systems working correctly and the joy in their faces when the lights come on is a real treat. By day’s end, everybody is tired but happy. The students and the teachers feel we are making real progress.

Tomorrow we start work on the complete systems and will have four systems built and tested. We will pick the best two to install permanently in the communities on Friday as part of the final day of training.
