Power is essential for its obvious application of operating devices and technology, but is also critical for the emotional and psychological impact it has on a community when its is reestablished. Providing light in darkness, access to communication to talk to the outside world, and the comfort it brings to life as a whole. A very special thank you goes out to our partners at @sailreliefteam who has graciously provided solar generators and panels that are having a direct impact on lives and communities every single day. - - - - - #solar #sailreliefteampr #power #love #creaturecomforts #teamwork #dreamwork #openworldrelief (at Abaco Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B34bIwGjLda/?igshid=fx2a5rujd8lx

On a project that started as a way to give back during our downtime between projects, our park/beach cleanups have promoted community involvement, the reemergence of public spaces to enjoy nature, and working relationships with eco-groups who share our values of sustainability and environmental protection. This is a perfect example of how a few individuals can take the step in the right direction and motivate others to follow. @antillesplastic jumped in with us and we got to learn about all of the amazing work they do! ❤️🇵🇷🐘♻️🚯 - Help us keep working towards sustainability in every way: www.paypal.me/OpenWorldRelief - - - - - #ecofriendly #cleanup #detrashed #trashtag #sustainability #cleanoceans #nosingleuseplastic #teamwork #dreamworks #cleancarribean #openworldrelief #basurachallenge (at Mayaguez, Puerto Rico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjLoXVl3XZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sjh0sgxpw85e

We must recognize the beauty of the places that we serve. #vieques is an amazing place that was served by one of our amazing partners, Moses West, creating thousands of gallons of the greasiest water on earth for the people of this #puertorican island since the storm. The people of Vieques are a symbol of resiliency.

Months after Hurricane Maria hit the island of #puertorico these are very common sites in the hardest hit mountain regions including #lares #utuado #jayuya #orocovis #barranquitas #adjuntas and more. These beautiful lush mountain forests have been devastated and still remain without consistent water, electricity and food supply. 5% of the island will never again be able to connect to the traditional electric grid. These are the first towns that our construction missions will address.

One of the largest impacts that we have been able to have is through teaching, it’s an exponential factor that allows on the job training for local volunteers of simple concepts that make a big difference in construction and repairs. This practice saves time and money while increasing efficiency and reliability.

There is a common theme that we have seen with our volunteers and the people they work with, smiles. The work is hard and the environment is challenging but the collaboration, bonds and collective work give way to positive emotion. This is the most rewarding part of the volunteer experience, having a positive impact of everyone involved. We like to call it mutual empowerment. #puertorico #puertoricoselevanta 🇺🇸🇵🇷 - - - - - #outdoors #giving #nonprofit #helping #Americans #giveback #USA #naturaldisaster #openworld #openworldrelief #openworldoutfitters #puertorico #puertoricoselevanta (at Puerto Rico)
