Border Green entity team started in 2005 and we focused on bringing renewable energy technology
into remote areas along the border of Thailand and Burma.
Two technologies that we focus on when we start, it was solar and micro hydra.
Since then we've been doing these technologies and also training on other technologies like
a small scale biogas system.
Currently we are Thai foundation, the funding coming from different sources.
The people we work with, they don't have access to the grid power so they have the limitation
on education or healthcare support so we provide the power for them to be able to use some
lights and some area they use for medical equipment.
The school is called Motolu and it's a Burmese migrant children's school and it's one of
the maybe 70 Burmese schools in the area.
They have their own
When small children are watching the programme, they'll remember the world and be proud of it.
They have two systems, the solar system, one with the one panel and the other one with
two panels.
So they're mainly used for lights.
The panel is a multi-clisterine silicon panel and one panel is about 130 watts.
A simple technology can make a difference in people's lives.
I think that we should focus more on that instead of providing like a big power plant.
It would not be sustainable by itself and I guess the small system is fit perfectly
for the remote areas and it's easier for people to maintain.
The main things they need is just the lights and it's make a real difference.
Sometimes we take something for granted and you know we just have lights everywhere but
for someone it's a big difference and it can help them so much with having just one
light.
