Friday afternoon at 14:00 Mari, John-Fredrik, Marsil and Tage were in the office booking the tickets for our trip down to Kenya. We will travel down to Kenya in January! We are REALLY excited, but my gosh we also have a lot of planning to do before we leave! We hope that we will be able to document the trip thoroughly - and we will of course post everything online once we are back.
The last month we have been working really hard on the financing side of the project and we are happy to say (although it is an ongoing process) we have managed to raise most of what we wanted for the solar panel installation. If you are following us on facebook you have seen that we have a solar-micro finance scheme here on our homepage - this has proven to be a success with 100 shares sold, far away from the 1000 we were hoping for but still a great success. Of course there is still time to support us as the more money we will raise more solar power bought once we are in place in Kenya.
In the month of January we will start distributing a magazine in the North of Norway which has been another source of revenue; it is a collection of articles and stories from the innovation environment in Tromsø where we have sold ads to finance the printing of the magazine and additional revenues has gone to the project.
We will keep you posted on further developments!
