Beautiful, moving sights
and sounds recorded with solar power, in remote villages in the West
Bank, Jamaica, India, Ghana, Brazil and Tibet.

|
Greenstar builds a solar-powered
community center that delivers electricity, pure water, health
and education information, and a wireless Internet connection,
to villages in the developing world.
We record art, music,
photography, legends and storytelling in traditional communities, and
bring these unique, priceless products to global markets. Revenues from
this "digital culture" are returned to the village to support their
ongoing, independent development.
