I blindly snapped photos as I held the Eclipse glasses in front of my camera. I wouldn't know whether or not any of my photos would turn out until I loaded them to my computer later on that day.

Aja Ney is a popular sacred Buddhist site and draws thousands of pilgrims from all over the country. The community is made up of 34 households and a population of over 60, most of them elderly people and hermits who spend much of their time praying.
A day’s hike from the nearest road point, taking electricity to Aja Ney was no easy feat. Difficult terrain and the higher cost of construction made building transmission lines challenging. There were also environmental concerns as Aja Ney falls in the buffer zone of the Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary. It is also a critical watershed area.
The first step towards electrifying Aja Ney was taken in 2021. Led by the Department of Energy with the then Ministry of Economic Affairs, a partnership involving multiple partners- Bhutan for Life, Bhutan Foundation and GEF-Small Grants Programme implemented by UNDP in partnership with the Royal Government of Bhutan and Bhutan Ecological Society with support from Shermuhung Gewong, Mongar, and Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary- set out to build the 80-kW decentralized distributed generation solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
En 1541, el conquistador Pedro de Valdivia fundó Santiago del Nuevo Extremo entre los brazos del río Mapocho. Tras la fundación de la ciudad, Valdivia solicitó al cabildo la sesión de un solar de tierra para establecer una ermita para la imagen de la Virgen del Socorro que transportaban sus huestes; el cabildo aceptó la propuesta y cedió los terrenos al borde del brazo sur del Mapocho (conocido como La Cañada) por considerarlos un "paraje lejano y peligroso".
La ermita fue administrada por la Orden de la Merced, quienes luego viajaron al sur acompañando a las huestes que iban a conquistar la Araucanía. En 1544, la Orden Franciscana solicitó la cesión de la ermita y de trece solares adjuntos a la congregación con el compromiso de la construcción de un templo para resguardar la figura de la Virgen. Los franciscanos ocuparon los terrenos de los mercedarios incluso después de que estos volvieran en 1554. La cesión fue finalmente aceptada por las autoridades coloniales y en 1575 se dio inicio a la construcción del templo con mano de obra indígena. El primer templo de adobe fue completamente destruido tras un temblor ocurrido en 1583. Los trabajos se reiniciaron y el 23 de septiembre de 1595, la figura de la Virgen del Socorro se coloca en la iglesia, que lleva dos tercios de la nave construida y parte del crucero.
La construcción de la iglesia finaliza en 1613. La iglesia, con planta de cruz latina y muros de piedra, cuenta con una torre, techo artesonado y sacristía. En los años posteriores se da inicio a la construcción del convento aledaño, compuesto por dos claustros construidos en 1628. Sin embargo, el Terremoto Magno del 13 de mayo de 1647 dañó gravemente el edificio, el cual perdió su torre y el segundo piso de los claustros.
Rápidamente, fue reconstruida la torre y la iglesia siguió ampliándose. Se amplió un claustro, se construyeron dos nuevos y se instaló una enfermería en los conventos, mientras que en el templo se instalaron varias capillas laterales en su interior y un refectorio. Mientras en el exterior, huertos y jardines adornaban los alrededores, en el interior se instalaron elementos de arte colonial como la serie de cuadros de la vida de San Francisco de Asís, creada por Basilio Santa Cruz y traída desde el Perú en 1684.
En 1730, un nuevo terremoto azotó a la ciudad y los daños producidos en la torre forzaron a su demolición en 1751. Una tercera torre es construida y en 1758 se inaugura la portada principal de la iglesia diseñada con piedra sillar. En 1828 se pavimenta el piso de la iglesia con ladrillo, se instalan mámparas y la cajonería de la sacristía, realizada en caoba. Nuevamente, la torre de la iglesia es demolida en 1854 que es reemplazada por una diseñada por el arquitecto Fermín Vivaceta. La actual torre, terminada en 1857, cuenta con un reloj de cuatro esferas y su arquitectura es de características decimonónicas que logran armonizar con los rasgos coloniales presentes en el resto del templo.
La iglesia sigue expandiéndose durante fines del siglo xix. Se completa la nave lateral sur y en 1865 se transforma la fachada de la iglesia. Posteriormente, se reparan las cubiertas de la iglesia y el claustro principal y en 1881 se reemplaza el antiguo altar de características barrocas por el actual, mientras se coloca mármol en las graderías del presbiterio, se repara el artesonado, se instalan figuras de yeso y decoración pintada y finalmente se estuca y decoran los muros internos y externos del templo. En 1895 se construye una capilla menor en la esquina nororiente de la iglesia, que completa la planta actual de forma rectangular.
Con la llegada del siglo xx, la Orden Franciscana comienza a sufrir problemas económicos, lo que la obliga a ceder gran parte del convento. La demolición de los claustros interiores se inicia en 1913 para luego dar forma al actual Barrio París-Londres. En 1929 sería creada una nueva fachada hacia la recién creada calle Londres. Con el fin de preservar el sitio, la iglesia fue declarada Monumento Nacional a través del Decreto Supremo 5058 del 6 de julio de 1951.
En 1960 se funda el Comité Pro-Restauración de San Francisco y en 1969 se abre el Museo de Arte Colonial de San Francisco. Entre 1972 y 1974 fueron restaurados la fachada, la torre y el órgano del templo. La restauración continuaría en 1986 luego de los graves daños que el terremoto de Santiago de 1985 causó a las naves laterales, el reloj y el dintel de entrada del coro del convento. En los años siguientes también fueron restauradas las obras de arte, especialmente el "Árbol Genealógico de la Orden Franciscana".
En septiembre de 2018, el templo celebró 400 años de su inauguración. Con este motivo, el Papa Francisco le concedió a la orden franciscana el privilegio de celebrar un Jubileo extraordinario durante todo 2018 y 2019

In 1541, the conquistador Pedro de Valdivia founded Santiago del Nuevo Extremo between the arms of the Mapocho River. After the founding of the city, Valdivia asked the town council for the session of a piece of land to establish a hermitage for the image of the Virgen del Socorro that her hosts carried; The council accepted the proposal and ceded the land on the edge of the southern branch of the Mapocho (known as La Cañada) as it was considered a "far away and dangerous place."
The hermitage was administered by the Order of Mercy, who later traveled to the south accompanying the hosts that were going to conquer Araucanía. In 1544, the Franciscan Order requested the transfer of the hermitage and thirteen attached lots to the congregation with the commitment to build a temple to protect the figure of the Virgin. The Franciscans occupied the lands of the Mercedarians even after they returned in 1554. The cession was finally accepted by the colonial authorities and in 1575 the construction of the temple began with indigenous labor. The first adobe temple was completely destroyed after an earthquake in 1583. Work resumed and on September 23, 1595, the figure of the Virgen del Socorro was placed in the church, which has two thirds of the nave built and part of the cruise
The construction of the church finished in 1613. The church, with a Latin cross plan and stone walls, has a tower, coffered ceiling and sacristy. In later years, the construction of the adjoining convent began, made up of two cloisters built in 1628. However, the Great Earthquake of May 13, 1647 seriously damaged the building, which lost its tower and the second floor of the cloisters.
The tower was quickly rebuilt and the church continued to expand. A cloister was enlarged, two new ones were built and an infirmary was installed in the convents, while several side chapels and a refectory were installed in the temple. While outside, orchards and gardens adorned the surroundings, inside, elements of colonial art were installed, such as the series of paintings on the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, created by Basilio Santa Cruz and brought from Peru in 1684.
In 1730, a new earthquake struck the city and the damage produced in the tower forced its demolition in 1751. A third tower was built and in 1758 the main doorway of the church, designed with ashlar stone, was inaugurated. In 1828 the floor of the church was paved with brick, screens and the sacristy drawers, made of mahogany, were installed. Again, the church tower is demolished in 1854, which is replaced by one designed by the architect Fermín Vivaceta. The current tower, completed in 1857, has a four-sphere clock and its architecture is of nineteenth-century characteristics that manage to harmonize with the colonial features present in the rest of the temple.
The church continues to expand during the late 19th century. The south side nave is completed and in 1865 the façade of the church is transformed. Subsequently, the roofs of the church and the main cloister are repaired and in 1881 the old altar with baroque characteristics is replaced by the current one, while marble is placed in the stands of the presbytery, the coffered ceiling is repaired, plaster figures and decoration are installed. painted and finally stuccoed and decorate the internal and external walls of the temple. In 1895 a minor chapel was built in the northeast corner of the church, which completes the current rectangular layout.
With the arrival of the 20th century, the Franciscan Order began to suffer financial problems, forcing it to give up a large part of the convent. The demolition of the interior cloisters began in 1913 to later shape the current Paris-London neighborhood. In 1929 a new façade would be created towards the recently created London street. In order to preserve the site, the church was declared a National Monument through Supreme Decree 5058 of July 6, 1951.
In 1960 the San Francisco Pro-Restoration Committee was founded and in 1969 the San Francisco Museum of Colonial Art opened. Between 1972 and 1974 the facade, the tower and the organ of the temple were restored. The restoration would continue in 1986 after the serious damage that the 1985 Santiago earthquake caused to the side naves, the clock and the entrance lintel of the choir of the convent. In the following years the works of art were also restored, especially the "Family Tree of the Franciscan Order".
In September 2018, the temple celebrated 400 years of its inauguration. For this reason, Pope Francis granted the Franciscan order the privilege of celebrating an extraordinary Jubilee throughout 2018 and 2019.
