With the help of friends she began a nonprofit, Maji Development Coalition, which is installing solar powered lights in households in this gorgeous part of Ethiopia. Now children do their homework by the bright light of solarpowered electricity and their homes are filled with smokefree air. Illustrated with beautifully detailed watercolor landscapes by Luz Adriana Montes de Oca.
