of
Greenstar
congratulates
Dr.
Omer
Kittaneh,
Director
General
of
the
Palestinian
Energy
Authority,
on
the
new
solar
installation
in
Al-Kaabneh.
Kittaneh
echoed
Israeli
leaders
in
saying
that
the
best
guarantee
of
security
comes
from
a
stable
economy.
Greenstar
is
designed
to
connect
the
Palestinian
economy
with
global
markets
through
the
Web
--
so
it
simultaneously
builds
the
foundation
of
both
economic
and
political
security. |
The
children
of
Al-Kaabneh,
a
remote
West
Bank
village
with
no
electricity
or
running
water,
greet
the
new
Greenstar
solar
system,
which
brings
both
power
and
purified
water
to
their
community
for
the
first
time. |
Mr.
Mousa
Abul-Sabha
of
the
Palestinian
Legislative
Council
spoke
at
the
Greenstar
launch
on
the
same
day
that
President
Clinton
visited
the
Council
session
in
Gaza.
He
said
that
Greenstar
could
be
a
great
new
starting
point
for
U.S.-Palestinian
relations,
and
further
observed
that
if
other
non-government
organizations
would
follow
the
GreenStar
lead,
there
would
be
less
paper
studies,
and
more
global
development
starting
at
the
local
level.
In
conclusion,
Mr.
Mousa
promised
to
provide
the
first
photocopying
machine
to
the
village
of
Al-Kaabneh,
on
behalf
of
the
Palestinian
Legislative
Council. |
Two
key
employees
of
the
Palestinian
Energy
Authority,
Mr.
Faried
and
Ms.
Rula
Bader,
show
how
a
solar
panel
works
for
people
at
Al-Kaabneh,
on
the
West
Bank.
The
new
Greenstar
photovoltaic
solar
array
will
generate
20
kilowatt-hours
of
power
per
day,
enough
to
supply
key
services
for
both
a
school
and
clinic. |
