  • Abstract
    Arieta Gonelevu´s latest challenge is to light up the only school on the South Pacific island of Tongariki using solar power. It won´t be easy. Tongariki, which is home to about 500 people in five villages, doesn´t have roads or airports. Even cargo boats don´t stop at this island in the Vanuatu archipelago, about 1800 kilometers off the coast of Australia.
