In September of this year, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the King Gray Public School on Robertsfield highway to commemorate the installation of solar classroom lights donated by the Daphne Foundation.
The occasion was graced by President Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, USAID and other NGOs in the country. These solar lights were seen as a viable solution due to the generator problems that interfered with the normal functioning of evening classes at the school.
The two main uses of the solar panels are to charge the batteries that power classroom lights at night, and to charge portable solar flashlights that are rented by students to take home for night studies. Each solar flashlight is brought back on a daily basis for recharging in order to be usable the following night. The solar flash lights are charged at charging stations during the day.
