In your long life what was the best experience you had?

In October 2008 two RESAP staff started work on the last three of eight micro-hydro projects in the very remote Chaharsada district of Ghor Province.

After completing the projects they drove back to Chagcharan, the province center, and a grandfather from one of the villages that now had electricity went with them. He wanted to buy some more cables from the bazaar. On the way they were talking and the RESAP staff asked the man, "In your long life what was the best experience you had?" After reflecting for a moment he answered, "It was yesterday when electricity came to our village for the first time."
