UN SHOW # 2 (Aired on Feb 4 and Feb 5 2017)

Once again, RadioRotary takes its microphone to Rotary Day at the United Nations for a series of interviews with persons from organizations “doing good in the world.” Lakeway/Lake Travis (TX) Rotarian Barker Keith discusses the Rotary 3D Limbs project, which is using 3D printing to produce prosthetics, especially new legs, for amputees, especially in Africa. Dr. Linda J. Stillman ,
who teaches at several colleges, is the founder and president of the Young Global Leadership Foundation, which guides aspiring youth leaders from around the world to become global citizens and democratic leaders towards a peaceful,
prosperous and positive global society in the 21st Century, primarily through provision of volunteer mentors. In the third interview, Melena Sosa tells RadioRotary about the Liter of Light project. The interior of homes that lack electric lighting can be easily illuminated with an improvised solar tube, a clear plastic soda bottle filled with water that receives sunlight from above the roof and projects it through the roof into the home, providing the equivalent of a 55-watt bulb when the sun is shining. Liter of Light has also developed interior lighting powered by batteries that are recharged from small solar panels.
