The Schulte couple contacted the teacher and organised compasses, pens and pads for the school children. Wolfgang Schulte also phoned Matthias Lapp, who immediately agreed that LAPP should engage themselves further. The goal was clear: in order to facilitate regular digital lessons for the pupils, internet access and electricity were necessary. “Panama is a small country and I have many good contacts there,” says Wolfgang Schulte, who quickly found a solution together with the teacher. There is a tourist hotel near the tribe in the jungle. It is currently not in use due to the lockdown. But as it has a transmitter mast, an internet connection to the Emberás could be established by radio with the help of a transmitter station. The power supply was enabled through photovoltaic panels, and cables from LAPP ensure reliability of the connection. For example, the ÖLFLEX® SOLAR weather-, abrasion- and UV-resistant photovoltaic cables. These halogen-free, double insulated and networked solar cables are suitable for permanent use outdoors and can be connected to either earthed or unearthed photovoltaic systems. They are used for cabling between solar modules and for connecting individual rows of modules with an inverter. Schulte: “In just three weeks, we managed to coordinate the setup of internet access along with a solar power system for power supply with local providers, who in turn provide the hardware.” In addition, LAPP Panamá donated the tablets which were missing for 37 primary school children. Wolfgang Schulte privately donated the required school materials, such as pens and pads.
