MOVIE SESSION

We truly believe that Disney movies has an extraordinary impact on children`s development. Movies challenges the imagination, it is a break from reality, a gateway for a parallel world where everything is possible. Movies show children the importance of being yourself, knowing that people will like you for who you are, not for who you pretend to be. Movies encourage children to believe and hope in happy endings. Movies enhance relationships and how is important to preserve bounds with friends. Movies teach us to never give up to follow our dreams.

In order to make the movie sessions possible, we needed to have a source of energy, just in that way we could project the movies since that the 12 communities with who we work don’t have electricity at all. So we decided to invest in 4 devices: 

a solar panel to harvest energy from the Sun;

a solar battery to store the energy;

a solar charge controller to control the flux of energy;

an energy inverter to transform direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity.

The next step it was to carry some of these items to the primary schools. In fact, it’s a very tough task. We live in a mountain region where the accesses to the communities, also in mountains, are destroyed by heavy rains. The tracks are often muddy and rivers became full. Besides this, the battery has more than 30kg and together with projector, computer, solar inverter it overpass 40 kg. Carrying these by bicycle, our mean of transport, is the only way to arrive to the majority of the communities because they are isolated and inaccessible by car. Just few exceptions had already seen a movie. For the rest of the students was the first time and we were so sincerely grateful to see such a joy.
