The Ordinary Heroes of Afghanistan
the documentary film premier
Wednesday, February 7th, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Helen Mills Theater, 137-139 West 26th Street, New York
Join us for an evening of learning and unlearning with Bunker Roy, founder of the Barefoot College. Hailed by Fast Company magazine as "the best thing going" in rural development, Bunker Roy and the Barefoot College have demonstrated to the world that what may seem impossible is possible, that "experts" don't have all the answers, and that with the Barefoot approach, the rural poor develop their own communities.
Barefoot solar engineers bring light to remote, poor villages all over the world.
The Ordinary Heroes of Afghanistan
Watch the remarkable story of 10 Afghan men and women who travel to the Barefoot College of Tilonia in India to become Barefoot Solar Engineers. The Barefoot College has already trained semi-literate Barefoot professionals to solar electrify over 200 remote communities across India and is now training Barefoot Solar Engineers in Afghanistan, Bhutan, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, Mali, Bolivia, Cameroon, Senegal and Ethiopia.
The Barefoot College is the recipient of the 2006 Alcan Prize for Sustainability and the 2005 Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship. Skoll’s grant is helping the Barefoot College bring the “Barefoot Approach” to 30 communities in five countries. The Ordinary Heroes of Afghanistan documents this Barefoot approach in five communities in Afghanistan. The film was produced by the Barefoot College and Roughcut Productions with support from the Skoll grant.
We invite you to become a Friend of Tilonia and join us for the film premier of The Ordinary Heroes of Afghanistan and an evening with Bunker Roy. Space is limited so please reserve your tickets early.
