"Despite of Life's Challenges - Solar Energy Can Draw the Smile"
says Eng. Adnan Al-Akori from Yemen, currently on study leave from his position as Head of Renewable Energy Department PARE, and winner of the DAAD photo contest with his photo taken in a rural electrification project targeting poor and remote villages in Yemen, most of them far from the main grid, by clean technology such as Solar Home Systems (SHS).
"This picture has attracted me most among the hundreds of pictures I have taken. Simply, the very cheerful smile of a villager‘s child that has never reviewed his courses at night, casts its own special spell on the viewer! Despite of the basic life that surrounded this child, a small panel between his hands makes him see everything around him "Green". This is the soul of "sustainability" in my point of view."
