My Graphic Novel is Finally Available for Purchase!!!
After three years of work, I finally have the first 100 copies of my Graphic Novel "Sit Please: Illustrated Experiences in Senegal, Mali, and Ethiopia" for sale online. The book contains 176 pages of full-color short stories for the spectacular price of $30 + shipping (or buy it in person and save on shipping!) I'm super happy with the printing done by Edition One in Berkeley. This first run of 100 will be signed and numbered (unless you don't want your book all marked up!).

A Saturday Afternoon with "We Care Solar"
A generous donation, from LWHS Parent Brad Rock, has connected the Lick/Drew Senegal Trip with the Berkeley-based NGO, We Care Solar. On Saturday afternoon students learned about the solar suitcase's lighting and charging abilities, as well as how to install the units and properly train local health workers. We'll be installing 3 of these units on the upcoming trip!
Trying out the LED lights. Very bright at only about 2 watts each.
Installation exercise.
Hal Aronson and Laura Stachel have an amazingly well designed and engineered system. It's very exciting to make this connection and to be able to work with such a high quality device. Find out more about We Care Solar. We'll post updates on the installation from the field. Look for them on the LWHS/Drew trip blog.
