Power Provided For Iraqi People

摘要

Iraqi citizens gathered in Baghdad's Karadah district Oct. 17 to celebrate a new micro-power generator that will provide electricity to about 300 homes. "It's a great day for the people of this village," said Mohammed al-Rubeiy, district council chief. Construction on the project began in midsummer, and the generator provides constant electrical power to the neighborhoods. Besides providing electricity, a generator of this size also will boost the local economy by providing jobs and the possibility of attracting new business, according to al-Rubeiy. A 10-member team will maintain the generator, which will provide employment to 30 people during the construction phase.
