Mabel says, “I am excited to join the Green Empowerment team. From my personal experiences living without electricity, I understand the need and impact it can have. I want to have a new experience learning about the renewable energy field and the opportunity to work hand-in-hand improving the wellbeing for the communities where we are working.”We are extremely grateful to the Christadelphian Meal-a-Day Fund of the Americas for their generous support for Mabel as Nicaragua Program Coordinator and Green Empowerment’s work across Latin America.
