(Chihuahua) – The sun, always a source of life, shines in this hot summer and radiates its energy for the future of so many boys and girls of the Instituto Educativo Morelos A.C., a primary school in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, which currently welcomes about 250 pupils from low-to-middle-income families. Built in 1943 by the local Church to provide a Catholic education for disadvantaged children, since 1994 it has been managed and run by the Canossian Mothers, who arrived in the city of Chihuahua in 1991.
Over the years, the Canossian Institute has improved, promoted and expanded the educational proposals offered to children, guaranteeing them all a quality path and promoting their full development. However, due to the modest financial contribution that families can offer to the school, it remains an ongoing challenge to have adequate resources for ordinary activities, maintenance, development of the premises and instrumental upgrades.
Every social and environmental reality, however, offers resources and energies that, if brought to light, can help improve people’s living conditions. It was thus thought that help could come precisely from the sun, both in economic and environmental terms.
To meet the growing need for electricity and reduce operating costs, it was decided to build a photovoltaic system that would contribute to:
– minimising electricity expenses, so as to allocate more financial resources to teaching activities and the improvement of the school;
– reducing pollution thanks to the production and use of renewable energy.
Thanks to the precious support received from many friends of the Canossian missions and to the contribution from “Cuore Amico Fraternità ETS” of Brescia, a few months ago a photovoltaic system consisting of 63 panels became operational, capturing solar energy to transform it into a precious resource, capable of powering the “future” of generations of boys and girls in Chihuahua.
Thank you, “Brother Sun”, for the gift of light and energy.
Thank you to the brothers and sisters who have made it possible to ensure “energy for the future” for their younger brothers and sisters.
