小太阳照亮全球

由艺术家奥拉维尔·埃利亚松（Olafur Eliasson）和工程师弗雷德里克·奥特森（Frederik Ottesen）于2012年在伦敦泰特现代美术馆发起的小太阳（Little Sun）社会商业项目，为世界上11亿居住在没电、没能源的环境里的人们提供了清洁、可靠、廉价的能源，提高了全球的能源和环境保护意识。

Launched in 2012 by artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen at London’s Tate Modern, Little Sun’s social business brings clean, reliable, affordable energy to the 1.1 billion people in the world living without electricity while raising awareness for energy access and climate action worldwide.

2019年，小太阳项目继续在全球各地的多个领域中散发着光和热。让我们通过时间顺序，来回顾小太阳这一年的精彩时刻。

In 2019, the little sun project continues to emit light and heat in multiple areas around the globe, so let’s look back at the highlights of the little sun’s year in chronological order.

三月的主题是提高人们对气候变化的严重现状的认识以及向可再生能源过渡的必要性，并向最需要照明的社区分发照明灯具。在柏林，小太阳团队走上街头，要求国家和企业停止使用化石燃料，并在“地球一小时”活动中宣传气候行动。

March was all about raising awareness for the climate emergency and transition to renewable energy, while distributing lights to communities who need them the most. In Berlin, we went to the streets demanding an end to fossil fuels and shone a light on climate action for Earth Hour.

与此同时，在非洲大陆上，小太阳分队看望了卢旺达的学童以及津巴布韦受到飓风伊代影响的社区。

Meanwhile on the African continent, Little Suns made their way to school children in Rwanda, as well as communities affected by Cyclone Idai in Zimbabwe.

小太阳分队与合作伙伴Hand in Hand for Development一起，为卢旺达患有白化病的学生带去清洁的太阳能灯，使他们能够在家中安全地玩耍和学习。这些儿童极易受到有毒煤油烟雾和蜡烛的伤害，因此他们必须尽量待在室内以防止皮肤损伤和疾病。

More Little Suns brought light and hope to Rwanda. Working with our partner Hand in Hand for Development, we brought clean solar light to students living with albinism so that they can play and study safely at home. These children are extremely vulnerable to toxic kerosene smoke and candles, since they must spend the majority of their time inside to prevent skin damage and disease.
