Soccer-World-Solar power brings World Cup to Ghanaian bush
Deep in the Ghanaian bush, some 200 people danced and hollered on Sunday as solar power helped beam Ghana's World Cup victory over Serbia to the pineapple-growing village of Oboadaka for the first time. Not only were the villagers overjoyed by their team's success, but for many it was a first time watching live World Cup soccer on television.
"We have more than enough reason to celebrate. Its a double-victory for us in this village and we must enjoy it while it lasts," said 63-year-old David Danso, who was among the residents gathered around the giant wall projector powered by solar energy.
