Light up the Night is a Service Learning Group dedicated to bringing sustainable solar energy to rural communities in Vietnam, starting with Mai Chau. Our mission is to provide reliable light through solar-powered lamp posts, improving safety, accessibility and quality of life in areas with limited electricity. We raise funds through school events such as Winterfest, Springfest and garage sales, which we use to purchase materials needed for building the lamp posts. Each year, our team travels to Mai Chau to assemble and install the lamps alongside the local community. Through both donations and sales, we aim to expand our impact and light up the dark—one village at a time.
This group was first created from the winning team of the grade 8 design project, 'Phoenix Nest' in February 2023. Although the team started as 85B, we were able to develop into the current team, Light Up the Night. Through this event, the team was able to earn a sponser by 'Six Senses Hotels Spas and Resorts' to take our first step to achieve our goal.
