IEEE members with some villagers during the project.
KUCHING: The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Sarawak Subsection and Swinburne Sarawak IEEE Student Branch recently installed 50 solar-powered passive infrared motion sensor wall and street lights at Kampung Salak.
A press release yesterday said this was the second visit by the two organisations to the village to complete the second phase of their ongoing humanitarian project.
The installation was completed in two days with the cooperation and assistance of villagers.
Villagers were taught how the lights work via the detection of motion within the range of sensors.
One of the Swinburne students also stayed overnight at the village chief’s house to ensure the lights worked properly.
Phase three, which includes checking on the state of the village and a handover session, will be completed by the end of the year.
