Buy One & Help Light Up The World.

Most of us take light for granted. We have to remind ourselves to turn the lights off. When dusk comes, we walk over and flip a switch and light illuminates our lives. While listening to NPR today I learned that the World Bank estimates that close to two billion people around the world don't have access to light. That means when the sun sets, they must sit in utter darkness. But a gentleman named Mark Bent has now invented the BoGo Light, a solar-powered flashlight to help in his quest to light up Africa and other poor nations around the world. When you purchase one of these bright beauties, another one, free of charge is sent to non-profit organizations and the donated are distributed to needy individuals and families in the developing world, and the impact of that gift radiates a positive impact on people in need, and our planet.
