Container sent to Gambia Africa for Power Up Gambia to the Sulayman Junkung Hospital

September 22, 2016, container #CMAU 5679331, seal #0720036, Gambia, Africa.  This container was coordinated by Lynn McConville, the Executive Director of Power Up Gambia, for the Sulayman Junkung Hospital and its satellite clinics in Gambia.  The contents included aluminum racking and accessories provided by Power Up Gambia to outfit the hospital with solar power.  In cooperation with Lois Davidson (Executive Director of the First Light Project), LED lighting fixtures for the hospital were also included.  Of course, MRS supplied a plethora of urgently-needed medical-surgical equipment and supplies as well.

The solar setup at Sulayman Junkung General Hospital, Bwiam, The Gambia. The small building to the right houses the batteries and control systems. (Note that the wire overhead is from an old telegraph/telephone system; it's doubtful whether it still functions.)
