"We came here to change the community, but you changed us. You touched our hearts, and it has been an honor to have the opportunity to serve these communities," said Mike Partin, NRECA President and @SValleyEC President, at the ribbon cutting.
On Tuesday, lineworkers from Tennessee's electric co-ops turned on the power for the Guatemalan village of Corral Viejo for the very first time. Twenty-two homes and a school in this remote mountain village now have light. #ProjectHighlighthubs.la/Q03Bwf6H0
Today all eight homes in the village of La Paz received power for the first time. La Paz is one of two villages in remote Guatemala to receive power thanks to volunteer lineworkers from Tennessee electric cooperatives. #ProjectHighlighthubs.la/Q03BgF1G0
15 Tennessee electric lineworkers have arrived in Guatemala to provide hope, power and opportunity.
