Javier has installed solar generators in over 40 homes thanks to viewer donations, and he’s continuing his mission to help every day. Thanks for watching and please consider visiting Puerto Rico- it’s truly an incredible place!
Chris James great job on the video. Nice DIY mentality to get people to move forward. Love the collaboration between youtube creators and the software engineer to get our people in Puerto Rico back on their feet. Many blessing to you and your team. Cheers!!
Jehu is such an amazing creator! I have been watching his content for years and he is consistently one of the most positive and giving people I have ever seen. His lack of formal education and success without it is inspiring.
Wow I watched Jehu's video months ago, after discovering his channel from casey's videos. Now seeing him still helping out and solving Puerto Rican's problems on the ground makes me so much proud of him and happy to know and watch someone like him on this platform that touches with peoples lives and improves it.
Can't deny I started crying. Thanks for helping my people here in Puerto Rico when they needed it. I don't have enough words to say how grateful I feel. Even though I don't know them directly, they are Puerto Ricans and thats enough to make them part of my family. Really thanks for coming here and making a difference.
I am so Grateful that Jehu & Javier were able to get their news segment aired on BEME News... it was filmed right when BEME was absorbed by CNN , and it was not known if it would ever be aired .... Congratulation guys , you worked hard and you deserved it... Many blessings , Good Luck , SMR
I still remember that day when we saw the Casey Video. But Chris, been the professional he is, Kept doing the interview and now here it is...!! I'm really happy and grateful
I went to Puerto Rico in November to help deliver aid, and document it, for the company I work for (it's a weather company). The people of Puerto Rico are absolutely incredible and I hope to one day return.
Zack, It be awesome if you came with me on the next trip to Puerto Rico, I have a planned visit for the 100th family to get light, but might go before that to help setup a warehouse so Javier can have access to batteries and help more families
I'm from the Bahamas. Back in 2004, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne hit the country back-to-back. The island I was living on at the time, Grand Bahama, was hit especially hard. Frances remained stationary over the island for three days; constant winds and rain for 72 long hours. Then, Jeanne came just two weeks later with nearly the same amount of force. The majority of the island was without power for three whole months. Food stores were closed for several weeks. All fresh supplies had to be shipped in by boat, which required us residents to stand in the hot sun at the harbor every single day HOPING we get a package. The situation was so bad, fights would break out over things like gas and ice. I was six at the time so my memory of all the details is foggy, but I do remember very clearly how hard it was. I say all this to make the point that I relate completely to the citizens of Puerto Rico. It's sad to see another natural disaster have this type of effect. Those who've never been through a storm (or other disaster) such as this can never fully comprehend how hard something like this is to deal with.
And they're only going to become more common, unfortunately. We have similar issues in far north Queensland, in Australia, and though being physically connected the rest of the country means the cleanup and rebuilding effort gets ahead a bit quicker, quite often for several weeks they are in much the same predicament, relying on fresh food and supplies being trucked in (sometimes flown in, when the trucks cannot get through) until power can be restored. Personally, I think with modern tech we can make this largely a thing of the past, except for the food component - distributed power and storage will have a huge effect on communities dealing with these types of tragedy.
I love seeing these kinds of stories. It is easy to forget that there are still a lot of people struggling. Thank you for shining a light on the great work these amazing people are doing!
This is the best video Beme has put out. Great information to get people to take action. Truly moving and shows the power of true human interaction, and on top of it all, proves that TH-cam as a platform with channels like Javier’s and Beme’s can help make a difference. Wow.
Man thank you so much for those words. Helping these people over here has been a wonderful blessing and been able to share my experience in TH-cam is just plain awesome
Great video! seriously i'm Puerto Rican and i'm living in the US and i can not be more happy to see the good kind hardheartedness of others this was really inspiring! thank you! "coming from a boy whos only 20years old i want to do good things in life!
I was raised in Salinas. I lived there for 25 yrs and now I am here in the States. I feel very sad for the citizens of Puerto Rico, but mostly the ones who live in center (Mountains) Puerto Rico. They are the ones suffering the most at this moment. Now I see this two guys (Javier and JehuG) helping people with most needs using money from their pockets and donations from people who watch this videos. Amazing work and God bless you guys.
Thank you for doing what you can for Puerto Rico. It breaks my heart to know that my grandmother and grandfather are both going through this tragedy. They lost everything, their home, their crops and even the little things like electricity. I hope you can reach them soon with power. I wish I could do more. Again thank you.
Beem =Logan Paul suicide videos , And they can’t be trusted, They are a Sham !!, People don’t trust anything from them!! Just where are all of the Puerto Rican’s who killed themselves like those Japanese people up on the side of that mountain??
We need 20 Javier’s to train 200 to put rooftop solar in these unpowered villages. I volunteer with grid alternatives , we do this training in the poorest of neighborhoods in LA . We have warehouses of unused solar panels siting in port of Long Beach, we just need a ship to take them to Puerto Rico.
1st time i see those panels sitting there...Give 4 per house...I have watched Jehu, and his generator is nice for small usage...But if you watched Jehu, he is building VW's into Powerwalls...You guys are onto something, but you just have to switch to small 48v-1kw lifepo4 packs that can be used for small transport,taxi, as big as how many packs you want to buy...I think Jehu has 36-100ah packs in his VW...A couple small 1kwh packs could have this lady an etrike, and sell power to others!..Power cables are the past!!! Home grown power!!!
This kind of things gives me happiness and chill. I love helping people in need. Thank you all what u have done this. God bless you. I am not an American btw.
Thank you and everyone involved in this venture! You are doing what our own elected officials have failed to do with their position of leadership. I'm grateful that me and my family got power late December. I'm grateful that more than half the population now has power. But I feel guilty for having this benefit while my other brethren are still in the dark. That is why I always try to let anyone who like you guys comes to help in any way how grateful we are. From the bottom of my heart guys, really. Gracias!
Great job, Beme! I follow these guys and was aware of your trip to see them. They were worried that this article would not get published after Beme cleaned house.
Great video and thanks for everyone helping PR when they needed help the most. This is what happen when you neglect for years the power grid in PR. It's a shame when the money needed to fix the grid and power plants, goes into politicians pockets. Also, housing constructions need to be approved before construction and inspected after the job is finished. Poor housing constructions = total destruction when a hurricane hits. Same goes for not maintaining the power grid. For years the Island was spared by many hurricanes. Complacent hit everyone thinking the island was untouchable by hurricanes. Politicians kept putting $$$$ in their pockets, making puerto ricans believing everything was ok and everything was getting fixed. I am glad things are getting better in PR, but next hurricane season is coming and I hope puerto ricans are safe and prepared for the season.
So inspiring to hear great stories coming out of this disaster. Destruction can be a creative force. I would never wish this tragedy on PR, but seeing the island develop a sustainable power system out of necessity is a positive thing, and new solutions that grow out of this can shape future development of the world.
Lived in Puerto Rico for 3 years when I was younger (approx 13 years ago). I remember their infrastructure was mediocre at best. This hurricane may have just been a short term loss in exchange for a long term gain if they are able to completely overhaul their infrastructure
On the upside, if the overhaul is built by the people, I guess you guys own it... makes it harder for government and private companies to screw you over.
Awesome :) in an area that solar power really works these days. Not only has the US neglected its own infrastructure, we've neglected our own territories. 27 years of sickness and corrupt politicians in power tends to do that.
Thanks Beme for getting the word out about my island's crisis. Goverment in the US is turning it's back on their own people (which is nothing new... sigh!)
I'm glad to see someone is still paying attention to witness what is still happening to these Americans in Puerto Rico, because its clear the government doesn't care about its citizens.
its a start! I could not imagine what hardships the people of Puerto Rico are going through. How they let their goverment over the years put them into total financial ruin through corruption and greed. Its my understanding that a lot of people incharge of major government agencies were not capable of running these agencies that provide the basic needs such as water, power and other utilities that are taken for granted in the United States. Hats of to those giving some temporary relief to those who need it.
Thank you so much for this. Too many people have forgotten about what has happened and what is happening in Puerto Rico. IF there is any way I could help you, I will do it.
They only sell the batteries or the power that comes out form them. Their installations are not for free and only helps the gov and not the common people of the Island.
Javier has installed solar generators in over 40 homes thanks to viewer donations, and he’s continuing his mission to help every day. Thanks for watching and please consider visiting Puerto Rico- it’s truly an incredible place!
Chris James cool
Thanks for reminding people what happened and is still happening here
Thanks for you support and Kindness. I'll be forever grateful
Chris James great job on the video. Nice DIY mentality to get people to move forward. Love the collaboration between youtube creators and the software engineer to get our people in Puerto Rico back on their feet. Many blessing to you and your team. Cheers!!
Francisco Manuel Sanchez thanks for your kind words and encouragement. God bless you
Thanks for helping the poorest of the island. They need help now than never. I'm from the island and had been helping this people the most I can too.
Jehu is such an amazing creator! I have been watching his content for years and he is consistently one of the most positive and giving people I have ever seen. His lack of formal education and success without it is inspiring.
You have no Idea. Doing this for my island gave me the opportunity to meet the guys personally and he is plain awesome.
Wow I watched Jehu's video months ago, after discovering his channel from casey's videos. Now seeing him still helping out and solving Puerto Rican's problems on the ground makes me so much proud of him and happy to know and watch someone like him on this platform that touches with peoples lives and improves it.
Thanks for your kind words. He's been a great guy to work with. I've learn a lot from him
Can't deny I started crying. Thanks for helping my people here in Puerto Rico when they needed it. I don't have enough words to say how grateful I feel. Even though I don't know them directly, they are Puerto Ricans and thats enough to make them part of my family. Really thanks for coming here and making a difference.
Believe me if you come with me and do one of these installations you won't stop crying.
These Gentlemen are heroes! Good reporting Chris!!! Lou continue living your life and learn something from Chris!!!
Thanks for the kind words. We are doing all we can to restore the smiles of the people. Lights too
Thanks for helping here in Puerto Rico and for sending this messege on how crappy is the power agensy people need to know that this need to change
Thank you for those kind words.
I am so Grateful that Jehu & Javier were able to get their news segment aired on BEME News... it was filmed right when BEME was absorbed by CNN , and it was not known if it would ever be aired .... Congratulation guys , you worked hard and you deserved it...

how do we do this?
Do it Jerry!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN DISLIKE A VIDEO LIKE THIS. SERIOUSLY? HOW CAN YOUR HEART BE SO COLD? SAD REALLY SAD.
they are just ignorants... but hey... at least there is more likes than dislikes, right?
@@JavierCamacho yes, anyone that doesnt have your opinion and dish up the required adulation are just ignorants I guess.
I love seeing these kinds of stories. It is easy to forget that there are still a lot of people struggling. Thank you for shining a light on the great work these amazing people are doing!
thanks for caring
Jay Garcia is the man!
His solar vw bus is a shinning example of his diy skills
So cool to see him doing this
well he has a 50% success rate with vw busses if you count the non-bms install in kombi lifes bus...

Javier is a hero. It makes me genuinely happy to see people passionate about helping others.
eltontaylor162 thanks for your kind words.
Deborah Langley I'm just trying to do my best and do for others what I learned from Jesus
This is great. Also, good to see Chris branching out
He is a grate guy. I'm glad he decided to follow and do the story of what we are doing over here.
I hope these stories continue!!
Great video! seriously i'm Puerto Rican and i'm living in the US and i can not be more happy to see the good kind hardheartedness of others this was really inspiring! thank you! "coming from a boy whos only 20years old i want to do good things in life!
hey thanks for those words. God Bless
One of your best videos yet. Thanks for literally and figuratively shining a little light on my little island.
Thanks for those kind words. We are doing the best we can
I was raised in Salinas. I lived there for 25 yrs and now I am here in the States. I feel very sad for the citizens of Puerto Rico, but mostly the ones who live in center (Mountains) Puerto Rico.

Chris is the best. Thank you for the great video
indeed he is.
0:39 that guy under the panels 😂
well spotted, he seems to be telling the drone operator what to do
These videos are so well made and informative! I love them!
Beem =Logan Paul suicide videos ,
And they can’t be trusted,
They are a Sham !!,
People don’t trust anything from them!!
Just where are all of the Puerto Rican’s who killed themselves like those Japanese people up on the side of that mountain??
I know! This is what real news actually looks like and it's amazing!
It's so heartening to see these awesome people bring light and support to people of Puerto Rico in these adverse times.
I live in the western part of the island, crazy how others are still in this situation after so long.
Hey, do you guys need help? Let me know and I'll do what I can to send some help over there.
Javier Camacho thanks but here in Mayagüez we've been very blessed, neighbouring towns not so much.
We need 20 Javier’s to train 200 to put rooftop solar in these unpowered villages. I volunteer with grid alternatives , we do this training in the poorest of neighborhoods in LA . We have warehouses of unused solar panels siting in port of Long Beach, we just need a ship to take them to Puerto Rico.
Email me, I can help coordinate, Im going back to PR at the end of this month
jehugarcia i cant find your email link mine is jon.bacha@gmail.com
email me, I'm Javier from the video affiboxapps@gmail.com
I hope you guys keep making videos because I love them. I enjoy the personal perspective that you bring. It feels very fresh and honest.
1st time i see those panels sitting there...Give 4 per house...I have watched Jehu, and his generator is nice for small usage...But if you watched Jehu, he is building VW's into Powerwalls...You guys are onto something, but you just have to switch to small 48v-1kw lifepo4 packs that can be used for small transport,taxi, as big as how many packs you want to buy...I think Jehu has 36-100ah packs in his VW...A couple small 1kwh packs could have this lady an etrike, and sell power to others!..Power cables are the past!!! Home grown power!!!
Home grown power is the best..!! specially for the one we are helping that can't eve pay for regular grid service.
This is sad that a small operation is doing more for Puerto Rico than the US government. That being said, this is such a great humanitarian effort!
Thanks for those words. I'm doing everything in my power to help those in need.
Best beme report I have seen. Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thank you guys for coming all the way over here to shed some light into the situation and a BIG thank you to Javier!!!! #PR
This report blew me away. Beme, you continue to amaze. Please keep up the good work. I hope that CNN recognizes the outstanding work that you do.
Solar is the future. Not coal. Amazing video. So inspirational.
You are right. You should see the faces of the people we've help. Solar doesn't only turn on lights.
People helping people. Love it!
Believe me its a really awesome feeling...!!! I'm really grateful that I get to do this every day...!!!
This kind of things gives me happiness and chill. I love helping people in need. Thank you all what u have done this. God bless you. I am not an American btw.
Thank God for these people for putting their heart and soul into helping others!!
thanks
Short and precise to the topic.. 👍🏻
Yup.
God bless you Javier. Thanks for helping our brothers.
Damn straight, residential solar-storage at its finest.
yup
Thank you and everyone involved in this venture! You are doing what our own elected officials have failed to do with their position of leadership.

Great job, Beme! I follow these guys and was aware of your trip to see them. They were worried that this article would not get published after Beme cleaned house.
Probably my favourite Beme video. Awesome work.
Such a sad situation! We take power and light for granted. These guys are doing an amazing job!
Thanks..!!
Great Video Chris Loved it.
Chris did made a great video... He is actually a really cool dude
Jehu is a mad genius I swear
*This is pretty inspiring, well done BeMe!*
Yup... It was really nice to have them go around with us and getting a glimpse of what I do every week
Wow just brilliant
This is one of the best videos that has a great content about the issue in puerto rico 🙌🏻
Awesome video guys! Fan from Puerto Rico over here!
DO MORE LIKE THIS! This is creative and well spoken REAL NEWS
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO . thank you guys
Thank you for watching..!!
Thank You for showing the reality that many of Puerto Rico’s people are struggling to this day
God bless you both!! I’m so glad that there are great hearted people in this world!
Beautiful. Thanks.
DIY is freedom.
I love this videos, please keep this channel!

Hey thanks for those words. May God Bless you always
God bless you man...the joy of life is putting smiles on the faces of others
Thank you for your support after the hurricane. It was just stupid hard to live without electricity.
The lady was singing Alma Llanera by Simon Diaz at the end for those wondering
Thank you for your work.👍👏
The operator under solar panel is dope!🔥
You guys do such a good job telling other people's stories.
I love you’re content. Been following Casey for years. Don’t understand why he abandoned you guys. Thanks for the insightful news
Jehu is everywhere
This is just beautiful
Lived in Puerto Rico for 3 years when I was younger (approx 13 years ago). I remember their infrastructure was mediocre at best. This hurricane may have just been a short term loss in exchange for a long term gain if they are able to completely overhaul their infrastructure
Thank for your words but You and I know better than that. Our Government will not do crap for us. This is why we are doing the DIY dance.
On the upside, if the overhaul is built by the people, I guess you guys own it... makes it harder for government and private companies to screw you over.
Way to go Jehu and Javi👊🏼
Jehu is an inspiration 😁
Jehugarcia is the man!
@Jehugarcia You the man!!!!

Thank you, great guys!
Thanks..!!
Excellent video. Very informative but gets at the heart of the issue
This guy deserve a medal !
If you mean Chris, he do deserve it.
PR is still a US territory. Why the hell isn't the US government helping them?! This is beyond rediciulous
Keep them coming.
Thank you so much for this. Too many people have forgotten about what has happened and what is happening in Puerto Rico. IF there is any way I could help you, I will do it.
please email me at affiboxapps@gmail.com
I'm Javier from the video
Thank you!!!
Hey guys I live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and what to say thank you for everything! Next time your here contact me 😂
Hey send me a message. Let me know if you know anyone around you that needs help
You guys are answering my prayers. Thank you God speed
well done
wow this is a bleasing for so many people keeping helping GOD bless you guys.
thanks
Thanks for all u du for the people in the island
excellent vid. Just wish I could do something to help. I do have some spare electronics tools (crimpers etc) but I guess that is not what is needed.
Any help is more than welcome. Thanks in advance.
Great job. I want to do something good like this someday too. You are great persons.
I hope Tesla doesn't forget about installing more battery storage and solar panels.
They only sell the batteries or the power that comes out form them. Their installations are not for free and only helps the gov and not the common people of the Island.
Great video! Keep Beme alive!👍🏼
these guys are amazing!
Thanks..!!
Aww this was awesome to the guy & TH-camr DIY person.
