Trips with the chargers
So, the past few weeks have been all about disseminating our chargers, and it has definitely been an adventure. We are currently in our testing phase, and sharing our technology with the people has been enormously rewarding.
The first sign of success came on Wednesday of last week, when Philemon and Bernard went to Kiserian. As they talked with others, they got excited reactions, and the most exciting aspect is that in the one hour in which they mingled with the locals about our company, one man charged his phone from 0% battery to full charge. Everyone couldn’t help but be impressed.
And then this past Tuesday, Bernard went to Nadosoito to disseminate some chargers for testing, and it was apparently an adventure. Though I didn’t go myself, Bernard and Joe (a close friend from Two-Wheeled Foundation who will be doing the Kampala2Capetown Heritage Tour) had a blast.
I could try to describe it, but I feel pictures speak louder than words.
