SolarBuddy: The Gift of Light This Christmas

This holiday season, imagine giving a gift that goes beyond the usually celebrations, a gift that brings a lasting impact to communities in need. At dynamic Events, we’re excited to offer SolarBuddy: Hour of Power, it is a unique, hands-on team building experience where your team can build solar powered lights for people living in light poverty.   

Why SolarBuddy Makes the Perfect Christmas Activity  

Giving back isn’t just a thoughtful choice, it's a chance to inspire your team with a shared purpose. With over one billion people lacking access to reliable electricity, SolarBuddy’s mission is clear and meaningful: to bring light where it’s needed most. By assembling solar lights, your team directly impacts families and students who rely on daylight for tasks we often take for granted from studying to cooking. Each participant will also get to write a personal letter that will be attached with the light this allows people to tell stories about their lives to their buddy overseas and this builds an extra layer of connection.   

Here’s a quote from Holly Bond – Business development Manager, which shows the importance of sending a letter:   

“For most of these children, this is the first communication they’ve had with people outside of their communities and the first opportunity to learn about other children from other places in the world,”  

Here why SolarBuddy is the ideal Christmas activity:  

  • Its Tangible: Your team sees their efforts results in real, useable solar lights  
  • Its Global: SolarBuddy lights are sent worldwide to communities in need.  
  • It's Inspiring: Teams are united by a purpose that extends beyond their roles, industries, and border.  

The Power of Light in Remote Communities  

Imagine not having light after dark. In areas where power is unreliable or non-existent, students struggle to study, and families are restricted in daily tasks. SolarBuddy lights are designed to change that reality. They're small efficient and life changing, each light lasts up to 10 years, significantly impacting communities long after the holiday season ends.  

How it Works: Building Light, Building Bonds

 When your team participates in SolarBuddy event, they:  

  1. Assemble Solar Lights: Each team member builds a solar light, following a simple, hands-on process.  
  2. Connect with Impact: Alongside the assembly, teams learn about the challenges faced by communities with reliable light.  
  3. Give Back with Purpose: Each light built represents brighter futures and improved education for students who would otherwise study by candlelight or kerosene lamps. When the children receive the letter sometimes it means more to them rather than the light itself and it shows the importance of communication.
