FLAP Visits Africa

flap.jpg

Founder Erik Hersman of AfriGadget got a group together to create a solar powered messenger bag. The result was FLAP (Flexible Light and Power) that can charge its built-in LED light and USB connection. He took ten of the prototypes through Ghana, Kenya and Uganda to see what they thought of the idea as sometimes electricity is not always available in outlying areas. Check out his site for pictures, video and general reaction to his project.
