Dreamlamps

Our visit to see our partnership part-time school in its newly built project house (see 20th Jan posts) coincided with a visit there by French lighting designer, Arturo Erbsman. Arturo has designed a simple but effective portable solar-powered lamp to support the work of non-profit NGOs working with impoverished families overseas, living without any lighting. Arturo calls the lamps ‘Dreamlamps’ and invites the children to create transparent pictures to light up the screen on their own lamp. Following a lovely creative session, Arturo donated Dreamlamps for every child.
