We're on ground and these are some live updates.
About 30% of Puerto Rico still doesn't have electricity.
We've included in the attachements a map of Puerto Rico with a red circle around the areas still most affected and neglected today.
We've also included our priority list of regions.
One of the biggest challenges has been clearing customs with our Now Solar! equipment. That has been achieved, but means we have to work efficiently to install these areas, as many are up in mountains with poor GPS and roads where we can easily get lost.
Locals on ground are being very helpful and appreciative.
We are also raising funds for the second phase of this project which will install a solar station for $25,000 in a health clinic serving 5000 locals in an area where there is no hospital. These funds will help get medical care to those in need. Similar clinics have been funded by Red Cross, Clinton Foundation and America Cares.
