We have decided to take a month off from work and drive from Sweden to Morocco to participate as volunteers in a charity project to deliver solar power to 9 remote schools in the Atlas Mountains.

The project Light2Learn.org needs people with 4x4 vehicles and a willingness to help with the logistics, transportation and installations of the solar power panels at the schools

We are very excited about the trip, but since this will generate quite a lot of extra costs, we are looking for donors who would like to help us get there. The costs include fuel (at least $2500 just to get there and back), ferry costs, equipping the car, etc.

If you feel this sounds like something you would like to contribute to, any contribution is highly appreciated!

Time to go!

Only a weekend between us and the trip now. Again, a HUGE thank you to all of you who have sponsored our trip. We will get to put a plaque on one school, which we will dedicate to all of those who have donated!

Solar panel time!

Thank you all for your contributions from your hard-earned money! It will come to great use! Now it’s time to buy the solar panels. We’re still a bit short on money, but we will be able to do 3-4 schools. You will be able to read about our preparations and follow the trip on http://morocco.alverborg.com

It's starting to get real!

Wow! Time doesn't stop, and even remote plans suddenly become close. Only 6 weeks before departure!

I would like to thank all off you who have contributed so far! I will soon pay the entrance fee/project donation of €500, which will go directly towards purchases of the solar panels for the project. I have also purchased a fridge, a roof tent, tools, spare parts, some needed camping gear, maps, books, and other equipment, tinted the windows, booked ferry tickets Stockholm-Poland Italy-Morocco - and I'm taking the vehicle for a major service on this week.

Fortunately I don't have to buy new car tires, as BFGoodrich has chosen us as their sponsor project of the year. I am also expecting to receive a GoPro camera from GoPro.
