Show 60: Excerpt - Power of One: Russell Hood & Solar Suitcases for Sudan
ON Kids These Days! we like to highlight the efforts of those individuals who take the time to mentor Alaska's youth; we profile them in our ongoing series called the Power of One. This time, meet a high school teacher who recently helped students learn a lot about the science of solar power as well as the power of giving.
Russell Hood is a physics teacher at East Anchorage High School, where he also leads the Solar Club after school. His group of students built and donated two "solar suitcase" or, portable power supplies, that will benefit medical clinics in the Sudan. These solar-powered batteries will allow the clinics to provide care that they would otherwise not be able to provide when or if the power goes off.
Kids These Days! host Shana Sheehy attended the presentation of the solar suitcases to the Alaska Sudan Medical Project last October in Anchorage where she met Russell and his students.
