CNN ran a story about Yosef Abramowitz on its show Next List, hosted by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. I just heard about the story from Rabbi Barry Leff of Rabbis for Human Rights, who is friends with Yosef and his family. I thought there were people here who would be interested in the story of this man who has plans to bring solar power to countries like Rwanda (already happening), Haiti, Romania, and more countries that have been torn by war, poverty, and other disasters.
He lives in Israel, where he has already built their first solar field, and is negotiating to build a second for a Bedouin village, where he has the support of the village leader and is working to get government approval. Politically that may be tricky, since the government plan is to get the Bedouin out of the area.
Thanks to Barry Leff for his Facebook post.
