Steve Peifer - Solar Computer Labs In Kenya
There is a saying..."Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime." Steve Peifer is doing both. He is helping to feed kids at 25 different schools in Kenya and he is providing computer training to these kids in solar labs. He hopes to give them a better future and help them get better jobs with these new skills. Imagine impacting a nation for the good, one child at a time. Some of these kids have gone to Harvard University and other great universities.
