Electricity is something taken for granted in nearly all developed countries. More often in the developed world, the presence of electricity is noted only when it is lacking. Can we imagine our day to day life without electricity, without lights, without any electronics? Not even this message would be read! Can you recall the complaints the last time there was a temporary power outage? It is hard to imagine that in the 21st century there are still places where electricity is rare or non-existent.
Just imagine about the areas in the world, where people live without electricity even now. How difficult their lives are: children can not study after sun goes down, there is limited time socializing, cooking in the dark or with only a kerosene lantern. It is a hard unpleasant life without electricity. But there is a way to "light the way".
The Solar Lights Project(SLP) by Mukti for Social Development (MSD) brings the power to the people, quite literally. The presence of an affordable, sustainable, non-dangerous and, non-polluting light source for these communities allows people the simple convenience of being able to conduct normal activities after the sun goes down. The presence of light allows children to complete homework, hold study groups, it allows families to cook dinner, and communities to hold meetings, keep local businesses open, and provide the basic residential safety that comes with a well lit area. As a (donor, board member, friend) of MSD, I am asking for your help to Light the Way and bring solar lights to communities in India.
We are having a Run on Saturday July 14 at Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos, CA to raise funds to bring 150 number of solar lights to communities that are in the dark now. You can help Light the Way and help those people by joining me in the 3K/5K/10K run. It will be a fun morning, you get great exercise--and your work will make a genuine difference in the world. Details can be found here:

Perhaps you are not a runner (you can walk too!) or coming to the event is not convenient. Please consider registering anyway, your gift will go directly to the Solar Light Project and light a home. If you can come and run with me--please do! It will be a wonderful experience for you, your friends, your children. Please share this email with others on your contact list. Together we can Light The Way!
