By Samuel WhyteWhile some are working to improve the lives of others, leaving their homes thousands ofThe water treatment facility (with the solar panel on top) when it was commissioned back in Septembermiles away and otherwise going to great lengths to do so, there are others who are bent on doing whatever they could to take away people’s happiness and make life miserable.Sometime between Thursday evening and Friday morning, last,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic, thieves stole a $1M solar panel system at a new Water Purification System (treatment plant) at Hibury on the East Bank of Berbice, some ten miles up the Berbice River, leaving thousands of residents to suffer.According to manager and resident,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, Roy Nicholas, he left the location on Thursday last and everything was intact, and the caretaker confirmed this. However, upon checking on the facility the following morning (Friday) to do the necessaries, the Solar Panel was missing, thus rendering the system inoperable.? Nicholas stated that a report was made to the Sisters Police Station, but he was referred to the Central Police Station where a statement was taken and investigations are continuing.Nicholas explained that at the moment they have to resort to pumping water using a hand pump because the area has no electricity. That process, he stated, takes over three hours.The plant which is the first of its kind built in Guyana was constructed and presented in September,Arjen Robben Jersey, last, as a gift by an overseas-based non-Governmental Christian organization from the United States known as Safe Water in Guyana (SWIG). The system services the more than 6,000 residents that live in and traverse that area of East Bank Berbice. The area is remote and is without the basic necessities such as electricity and water all the way up to Mara, some 25 miles up the Berbice River.The system is powered by solar power and has a panel on top of the structure to trap the sun and store electricity. Upon the turning on of a switch, water is pumped from the nearby trench through some filters into a tank at the top of the structure where chlorination takes place which kills the bacteria and purifies the water. The water is then passed down into another tank and into a pipe where it is ready for use, via a standpipe on the road.? The entire process takes some three hours. The plant is mostly used in remote areas and is popular in Africa and some other parts of the world.Residents in the area are very angry that persons could be so unscrupulous and uncaring to seek to destroy something which is for the benefit of everyone. Residents on the day of the commissioning had come out in their numbers and had showered blessing on the visiting team for leaving their comfortable homes in the USA and come to Guyana to assist them with a basic necessity and help them change their lives. They had only recently held a church service to laud the project.Guyanese Pastor Seon Grant from Berbice, now living in Indianapolis in the US, was one of the main players in the conceptualization and implementation of the project.A 10-man team which included a number of engineers, electricians, technicians, environmentalists and other workers, including church members, made the trip to Guyana to implement the project.Grant had stated then that the idea came about after they saw the need for a facility like that in the relatively remote area. He had stated that an organization in Southern Indiana called New Life International,MLB Jerseys From China, which deals with water treatment among other things,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, bought a water purifier and decided to come to Guyana to undertake the project.A reward of $50,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping,000 has been made available for information leading to the recovery of the solar panel and the subsequent arrest of the perpetrators.
