TEAM 2017

The more the merrier! Seven new active members just joined Liter Of Light. These new members were all carefully selected on the basis of their motivations to help us achieve our new goals and make a difference in developing countries around the world. What is great about our team, is that all of us are passionate with sustainability, innovation, and are willing to spend our time volunteering for a great cause. These are very important values for Liter of Light and we are very excited to start working with this new team on our various projects for this academic year! 

Our secretary, Ilinca, inspires all the actives and supporters of Liter of Light by showing her commitment and enthusiasm: "As a devoted member of the Liter of Light movement I strive to make people at home and abroad aware of the scarcity and importance of light in our homes and on our streets, to deliver the technical expertise and know-how of our solar light solutions and to empower communities by encouraging them to develop micro-economies of their own while spreading the movement and creating a long-lasting impact in the world."

Liter of Light Netherlands made a great start this year. We have a new organizational structure with the new board members and committees. Besides the president, secretary and treasurer we have public relations, projects, activities and fundraising coordinators. The PR committee is in charge of promoting the movement of Liter of Light and events also it is a joint committee of IT and marketing. Projects committee focuses on initiating new projects and keep our relations with other NGOs. Activities are the events we are taking part in and fundraising keeps track of our bake sales and building up relationships with local and company wise contacts. 

What does Liter of Light mean to our new president, Lea? "For me, Liter of Light is a movement that provides tangible help to people in need in the form of simple light solutions. As this years’ president, I would like to expand the reach of Liter of Light Netherlands by collaborating more closely with other chapters, NGOs and also spread the movement in the Netherlands." 

To sum up with some words from our projects and PR coordinators:

"Liter of Light gives us an opportunity to see how a simple solution can make great changes in people’s lives. This is year Liter of Light Netherlands is more dedicated and innovative than ever with the new organizational structure and active members."

"The Liter of Light movement has huge potential. Since we teach the locals how to build and repair the lights – which are all made from local resources - it is all about spreading the idea around the globe. It feels like we are standing on the tipping point of a solar revolution! "
