Third-world Housewives Bring Solar Energy to Villages
tags:
Stumble This( length 10:29 ) Uneducated women from poor areas in the world journey to India to learn solar engineering in six months - their curriculum is similar to that of a college degree completed in an average of five years. Talk about kick ass.
They do not receive a diploma or certification of some sort. Instead, using their newfound knowledge they'll all bring solar power back to their villages, without professional technical help. Watch for 4:05. Impressive, huh?
In a whole pretty inspiring. More info here: http://www.barefootcollege.org/

I call bullshit. I think these woman do a great job but you can't compare it to college. In the beginning of the clip it's shown how the woman learn their trade. It seems that they basically just learn how to put together color coded parts to build a solar power station. They don't learn anything about the physics and theories behind it which college students do.
