The Anglican-owned Rural Training Center at Kolaero, in Hograno district in the Diocese of Ysabel is now fully lit up thanks to solar power.

Following its year planned activities, the Anglican Church of Melanesia Solar Project Officer Mr Holland Sikou installed 400 watts Solar system with a 2,400 watts Inverter for the school’s classrooms and administration department and three other thirty watts for three dormitories.

This is a big development and an achievement in the history of the School.

School Principal Mr. Oliver Manepitu said, “Since the establishment of the center, light was our very big problem. Classrooms and dormitories did not have lights. With this latest development in lights, our students and teachers will now be able to do extra work at night”.
