Now, five years later, Jordan has not only created a place where people love to gather, he is also building a project called the Dream Lights Initiative, which will help bring solar powered lights to the country. His partner for this project? None other than Goal Zero, which has been using solar power to improve the lives of adventurers and developing countries for years now. The video above tells their story and how this project is changing lives.
