Egoli - Week 10

One of my group members, Amanda, found an awesome article and video about a company called Liter of Light, which uses a plastic bottle to bring light inside homes in third world countries. This could be relevant to the problem we are trying to solve with Egoli.

I also found this article interesting, talking about alternative energy sources that farmers in developing countries use. I know we aren't working with farmers, but there are some nice basic ideas here.
