But thats what happens when the lights go out during an emergency C-section. Enter Berkeleys own Dr. Laura Stachel. Her organization We Care Solar has created & deployed 100s of solar suitcase power systems to these countries. The impact = more mothers and their babies are surviving childbirth, and healthcare workers have renewed hope, higher morale. Small clinics can treat emergencies 24 hours a day. Human lives saved. All this for $1500/solar suitcase. Imagine what Dr. Laura Statchel can do with $250K. So VOTE FOR DR.
