CLIMERICK: Solar Lights in an African Village by TT

KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN

Solar lights in an African village 

will avoid lethal kerosene spillage;

they cut through the gloom,

and reduce toxic fumes:

even more, make for CO2  shrinkage.

 

This Climerick arose out of receiving an Email appeal from Eko,an international campaigning organisation based in San Francisco: Solar Links Initiative is a registered UK Charity which, in my view, appears from its financial information lodged with the Charity Commission to have the capacity to meet the aims of the appeal ie. to equip all homes in appropriate villages to ensure even handed support throughout the selected village(s) . I have made a modest monthly donation directly to Solar Links Initiative (SLI) because the simple logic that the project resonates strongly with the aims of Climericks.


Response from Phyllida Purvis of SLI received 14.09.24 

'I am also delighted to receive your limerick and will certainly use it. It makes one smile – and think, as I am sure all your climericks do! Thank you very much ... we, and most importantly, the families who move out of the darkness, are most grateful.'
