ABOUT ME

I follow my heart rather than my mind. I have been out of the mainstream and been exploring everything alternative. We homeschooled our children; we are organic farmers; our house is solar powered. We harvest rainwater. . .

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing belongs to me.I have hired many of these and I will have to leave them sometime :)

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

My first micro hydro project. We did this for a residential school in 1997. I was so happy when the tap was turned and the lights came on! After this, I have been at it ever since and get my reward every time when the tribal people for whom I work mostly shout in excitement when they see lights in their villages. . .
