Solar Mamas, Community Cinema

IDEAS Academy students attended a Community Cinema Presentation of Solar Mamas at the John Michael Kohler Art Center on Wednesday.

Welcome to India’s Barefoot College, where rural, poor, and often illiterate women from around the world are offered the rare opportunity to receive an education that teaches them how to make their communities self-reliant and sustainable.

Solar Mamas is part of the international WHY POVERTY? Project, a groundbreaking, cross-media event reaching more than 500 million people around the world via over 60 international television broadcasters as well as radio, internet, and live events in November 2012.
