Carolina Barreto Cajina
I attracted a group of 12 highly motivated Malians interested in learning how to build the technology. Upon returning to the states, I contacted Dr. Richard Komp and Carolina Barreto Cajina, who had worked together with Grupo Fenix to establish solar technology in Nicaragua. They agreed to travel to Mali to help the Malians establish the local enterprise by teaching them how to build and install solar technology, utilizing the support and implementation skills of Ji Duma.
