The project is about meeting the people and listening to their stories, especially about energy usage, renewable energy and their hopes for the future. It's often difficult to get photos of myself working, but here are some still images from the previous trip.
This is how people work during the pandemic: online and video conference. While we were in Waingapu, we reported our progress to our bosses and a collague via WhatsApp call, with one boss in Sawangan, Depok, one in Larantuka, Flores island and our colleague in Bandung. We had the call at a cafe in the city center called Cetroo Cafe because the WiFi was quite decent. After worrying about the signal in Waingapu, it turned out that it was our boss in Sawangan who had a bad signal reception.
We visited a community health center (Puskesmas) to check if they are ready to welcome the vaccine. They do have a freezer to keep the vaccine, and it is powered by Mbakuhau micro hydro power plant.
The WiFi system is also powered by the renewable energy.
I will close the post with a YouTube video on our visit to an elementary school that uses solar power plant to supply for the electricity.
