     “We kunnen onze mobiele telefoons niet thuis chargen en [dus] moeten we dat doen bij de polikliniek van het Mungra Medisch Centrum dat zonnepanelen heeft. Want telecommunicatie is niet meer weg te denken”, zegt Oda Banda, basya van Corneliskondre.

     "We cannot charge our mobile phones at home, so we have to do it at the Mungra Medical Centre outpatient clinic, which has solar panels. Because telecommunication is here to stay," says Oda Banda, assistant village chief of Corneliskondre.
