Since there is no electricity in the villages where we are working but there is plenty of sun we will use this solar generator bag to keep the laptop and handheld devices charged. This is also consistant with our eco-friendly project pledge. Special thanks to Voltaic for donating 1/2 the price of the bag. If someone from the project purchases one of their products they will donate a portion of the proceeds back to Canterio International. Contact us if you are interested.

Sounds good to me
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how Isa was going to get the power to the laptop and how is he going to get a wireless signal for Internet?
ReplyDeleteI beleive Isa is going to use the seed $ from FBMS PTO to purchase air time. Isa, would you like to eloborate?
ReplyDeleteIan: The front of the bag is a solar panel, that panel charges a battery pack inside the bag into which you can connect your laptop and other handheld devices. In full sun the laptop will work continuously and then the battery will continue to provide power after the sun goes down for 4 hours.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the PTO, we will be able to buy air time from a local telecommunications company to make cell phone calls from the villages to FBMS students. Since they do not have broadband capacity in the villages we will have to bring some of the orphans into Lilongwe for the webcast.
Excellent questions. Keep them coming. Isa
