Women. Illiterate. Coming from villages with no light. They leave their villages in South America to go in India to become solar engeneers. They will bring solar light back home.

Illiterate women from villages around the world with no electricity attend a course to learn how to make solar panels in India. They don't speak English but they are determined to learn the technology. Those who have completed the course have returned to their villages and brought the sun home to more than 300,000 people.—Carlos Alperin

Maura and Rosa, two illiterate women from a village with no light in El Salvador have just arrived at the Barefoot College in India to learn how to make solar panels. They never left their families and they don't speak English. It seems impossible they will learn. At the same time in South Peru Jeny and Paula, just returned from India, show that the Barefoot College is a place where the impossible become possible. They were just wives and mothers, now they have become solar engineers and they are traveling from village to village to bring the sun home.
