⁠#PICTURESOCIALPROGRAM⁠⁠ Solar devices to get light when night falls always changes the habits of the villagers. This allows them to continue farming, do homework, play outside, or even see each other at night. The stories are always different, authentic and atypical.⁠ ⁠ From the first evening, after the rapid repair of a lamppost on the heights of the village, the guys can see the immediate effect of the action: the children go out, put themselves around the light and tell stories. Unbelievable. It's 8 pm, it's already dark night. Without this light, they would probably have had no choice but to go to bed.⁠ ⁠ In 2019, more than one billion people still live without access to electricity. Access to light and clean water should be a norm for everyone around the world !⁠ 🌍⁠ ⁠ Stay tunned to learn more !⁠ 🙌⁠ ⁠ #rideforthefuture #csr⁠ ⁠

#PICTURESOCIALPROGRAM⁠⠀ ⁠In the village and its surroundings (including a river) there are a lot of plastic waste lying on the ground. Guys understand that this is not a priority for locals, but teachers confirm that awareness and pickup would be helpful. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The collect of waste begins and takes the form of a game. As a gift : a polaroid photo that they leave to each class. It's especially the late appearance of the photo on the film that impresses the children! Magical. 🔮⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ However, the guys remain puzzled by this pickup action which is very far from the vital concerns of the inhabitants. Fortunately, 26-year-old Franklin, one of the school's teachers, reconfirms that it's a good initiative.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In his own way, this is how he talks about this subject to children:⁠⠀ "I tell them that if they throw the plastic on the ground, the wind can carry it into the river. Fish can eat plastic and get sick. If we catch a sick fish to eat it, we will be sick in our turn and we may die. I ask them then: Do you want to die? At the unison they answer "No! ". So that's why we should not throw plastic on the floor "⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Stay tunned to learn more !⁠ 🙌⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #rideforthefuture #csr⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

#PICTURESOCIALPROGRAM⁠ ⁠When they first arrived in the village, Picture guys came without certainties about the quality of the existing solar infrastructures, the living conditions on the spot and what they will be able to provide as concrete help meeting the need of the community. ⁠ ⁠ The best persons to answer their questions were the teachers of the school attached to the village. 👨‍🏫⁠ ⁠ They make this trip every day, know the problems of the inhabitants and they speak English. Quite quickly they identified the needs with them and what they were going to do ! ⁠ ⁠ Stay tunned to learn more !⁠ 🙌⁠ ⁠ #rideforthefuture #csr
