Appreciation message for Fusion Grid Pilot Project

Translation provided by Dr. Karin Amukugo Fröhlich, post-doc researcher, Aalto University

We wholeheartedly thank you dear respected members for the solar electricity that you have donated and installed in our house. As of now, my wife and I are flexibly able to do our work from home due to the covid 19 lockdown regulations. In fact, we even managed to recruit two employees whom we are able to reimburse with the little we acquire from our sales.

We appreciate the wi-fi very much because it enables us to do our marketing for our products.

Our only shortcoming is the space to do our carpentry work because at the moment we work from the sitting room which is not very ideal and the decrease in numbers of customers due to Covid19. We really appreciate what you have done for us may God bless you. When we are done with our carpentry work, I usually borrow a vehicle to transport the goods to the customers or to the open market.

Further notice: During a telephone conversation, it became known that the employed two persons are youth from the neighborhood in the Okalevona area and one additional volunteer from Ondangwa municipal area. The volunteer is a graduate from Ongwediva Vacation Trading College. (VTC)  The graduate is seeking work experience and it’s a pity that they are only able to provide transport fare to and from work since the business is struggling due to Covid-19.
