Thank you to all who came out to celebrate our 5th birthday with us. It was an honor to hear from Ambassador Ron Prosor, Israel's Permanent Representative to the UN as well as Tanzania's Minister of Education, Dr. Shukuru Kawambwa, who flew in from Tanzania just for the event. Together, we enjoyed the dancing of Batoto Yetu, a fashion show, solar installations and more. And one lucky winner of our Energy Challenge will be joining us on a free trip to Tanzania!

 

We are so grateful for all of your support in helping us to reach our 5th anniversary, and we look forward to celebrating our work with you for many years to come.
