I agree if you are in Kombos and paying for electricity, then solar is a good long term investment and ecological too!
OK, all bantaba members seem to agree about solar, Gambiabev has put her finger right on the spot,where is the MONEY to come from? other posters have indicated that there is a course at the GTTI to train people to install solar, that course is apparantly expensive, again where is the MONEY going to come from,all these ideas are great but it all boils down to one thing MONEY,how do people get MONEY to improve their situation?
SISTER OMEGA are you reading this topic, your ideas would be most welcome.

SISTER OMEGA are you reading this topic, your ideas would be most welcome.
toubab1020, this is exactly what I mean when I say we need to invest in our populace. The money should come from us, I mean those of us lucky to have jobs in the west. How many of us have brothers and sisters who can attend these training facilities? How many of us encourage our brothers, sisters, niece, nephews to attend these technical institutions? Many of us instead try to help our brothers and sisters to get out of the country just like we did. The pride is around who can fly their siblings first instead of getting them the education they need.
To be more specific,I have a brother who is wanting to get out of the country fresh from high school. I insist that he must attend technical schools or atleast the college to learn other skills. He refused, but I offered to pay for his tuition, books and living expenses and now he is attending the GTTI mentioned earlier.
The money should come from us either as individuals or as organize groups that can help subsidize such schools so the burden would not rest on an inefficient government like the one we have. We can help create a scholarship program across the country for willing students to get their training.
The other message those of us in the Diaspora need to repatriate back home is the fact that training as a NURSE helps one even when you leave your country. With a skill set one can be productive no matter where they go. What most of us do is to pretend to be living large when we have the most unskilled jobs in the west. How many of us tell our people the kind of jobs we are doing in the diaspora?
The point is that with strong partnership, we can even build educational institutions that will teach our young women and men skills to assemble solar panels, build computers, manufacture soap without having to leave our nation. It is a matter of pride and reinvestment. Take an example of the Ghanaian guy who was working at microsoft. He went home to Ghana to build a computer technology institution of higher learning. Now this is what I call patriotism. Learn the skills and export them back home... What do you think???
