Have you read "The Blue Sweater?"

Yes

Why do you want to be a part of this community?

This fact really worries me.
Some 50 million homes in India are without electric power & go without light during nights, These People Are depended on kerosene lamps as lights which provide dim light for only two to three hours daily and are hard to maintain, as it is supplied through distantly located government outlets. Kerosene also causes indoor pollution, which causes coughs and lung ailments, especially among children. I want to contribute to this cause
