La Digue school will soon have a new aerial view and become part of the campaign to make Seychelles a greener, more environmentally friendly place. Sunergy Systems Seychelles Ltd, CEO

Ms. Maryvonne Pool (who is also the Seychelles Honorary Consul and Seychelles Tourism Ambassador in Tanzania) handed over  photovoltaic panels and other equipments to the Minister for 

Environment and Energy Rolph Payet.
This was done on Monday 1st October, 2012 in a short ceremony at the Botanical Gardens in the presence of Environment Ministry and National Botanical Gardens Foundation staff. Professor Payet thanked Ms Pool for the donation and said giving solar panels to La Digue school “shows your commitment to the development of Seychelles”.
Ms Pool said this is not the first green project the Consul has embarked on and others include schools and clinics in rural Tanzania where they have no power supply.
“We want to work closely with the energy commission and the government to help Seychelles become a more environmentally friendly place,” she said. She urged that hotels and tourism
stake holders should go for renewable energy for their establishments which will prove Seychelles to be an Eco Friendly Destination. Renewable energy may prove to be expensive in the
begininning but it is a safe economical investment for life. SUNNRGY SYSTEMS is presently installing a Eco Lodge in Tanzania and this should be a model for Seychelles Tourism
stakeholders.
The  5KW system donated will cost between USD18,000 to $ 22,000) and Mrs Pool said SUNNRGY SYSTEMS plan to introduce fridges and air conditioning units in the very near future.
A solar street light was also part of the donation for the entrance of the botanical garden of Seychelles to be part of the environment friendly atmosphere of the Gardens.
