Aid post power system
For those engineers out there, this is a schematic of the power system at the pheriche aid post. Pretty simple: 500w wind turbine + 16 x 80w solar array charge a large bank of batteries. We have power to run/charge laptops, light the post, and run medical equipment such as oxygen concentrators. There is lots of wind and sun here so it is really effective. We also have a solar array dedicated to heating water. We had our first hot shower in nearly 2 weeks a couple days ago. And it's HOT! Works surprisingly well.

Wow! It sounds like you are being bombarded with stimuli! The beauty, the sounds, learning a new language, and taste buds! The food you mentioned (breakfast burrito, and Dha Bat also sound not bad! ) The picturesque background looks amazing......glad to hear you had hot water for showering.......continue to investigate and tour and send it our way.....we are enjoying the pictures and the narration of what you are experiencing...Love Mom somehow this comment states it is from Julie , but it is noir!
