Woman's nonprofit brings power, hope to Africans -- dailypress.com

Woman's nonprofit brings power, hope to Africans -- dailypress.com: "AMES CITY - When someone switches on a light in Banco, Mali, it's most likely connected to a photovoltaic solar power system in the village. But its original source can be traced to an unassuming house in James City County.

That's where Mary Graham, who grew up in Northern Virginia, lives with her parents in Kingsmill when she's not in Mali overseeing Practical Small Projects. That's the nonprofit she founded three years ago to foster sustainable enterprise in the impoverished West African country."
