Jeanne d' Arc Pouatcha from Batcheu village in Cameroon is training to become a barefoot solar engineer. She returns to her community in July, 2007 after 6 months of training at the Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan, India.
Jean d’Arc is a 56 year old widow and mother of three. She owns 1,000 meters of land in her village where she cultivates manioc, yams, corn, plantains and grand nuts.
When she was selected to come to train as a solar engineer she says she received a lot of support from her community but also admits that many of the men wanted to come and it was only because they were told that other women in India were already barefoot solar engineers that the men in her community believed that she could also do it.
Along with three other women from Cameroon, she came to the Barefoot College in January 2007. These women are trained to assemble and repair solar lanterns and the solar panels, batteries and circuitry for solar household systems. She says that in Tilonia she feels protected because people have treated her as part of the family and that the teachers have been patient in teaching them. She feels confident she will be able to learn all that is required to solar electrify all the households in her community.
“We came here to learn, we go back to teach others what we have learned. There are many villages in Cameroon without electricity; what I am learning is not only for my village’s benefit.”

The masks of Cameroon come in an immense variety of forms as evidenced by this extraordinary piece. An interesting feature of the mask is that the mouth is represented by a miniature version of the entire mask. Is that what our mouths are?
