Preparing for Bolivia – Project: United We Light
Preparing for Bolivia – Project: United We Light
Recorded on

We had a conversation today with two of REC’s linemen who will be traveling to Bolivia as part of the United We Light project. Cody Lockhart & Brian Michael told us about how they’ve been preparing for the trip to Bolivia where they will assist other electric cooperatives, the local power company, and villagers from the town in Bolivia to establish and connect power for the first time. We talked about what their expectations are for equipment, the weather, working conditions as well as their excitement to be part of such a worthwhile project.
