Hello dear Good News community,
When I think back to my visits to Mozambique—my father’s homeland—one thing always comes to mind: the sudden power outages. From one second to the next, it was pitch black. Of course, we always had emergency flashlights ready, but as a child, I still found those moments pretty scary. But right there, something amazing is happening now: thanks to renewable energy, more and more people are gaining reliable access to electricity.
Enjoy reading, Selina
