PC Discount: Freeplay Energy

Dear Peace Corps2 Yahoo Group,

I have arranged a deal for PC Volunteers. PCVs can get a sweet deal on two Freeplay Energy products: the Lifeline radio and the Indigo LED Lantern. These products were developed for many of the conditions that PCVs will face during their service namely: lack of power, rugged conditions, lack of communications and lack of electricity. This has been graciously been made available through the Freeplay Foundation (freeplayfoundation.org/) and the Dixie Sales Company, their North America distributor.

The goals of the Freeplay Foundation are complementary to many aspects of Peace Corps service. They aim to:

* facilitate sustained access to information and education for the poorest of the poor, especially children, women, refugees and the disabled.

* raise awareness of the role of radio broadcasting and communication in developing countries, disaster areas and regions of conflict.

* research opportunities where appropriate and alternative sources of energy can be applied to improve the lives of people in developing communities, especially children living on their own.

* seek sponsorship to initiate and support humanitarian communication initiatives.

This is discount is substantial: Lifeline radio: US$42 per unit

This is one hell of a discount for PCVs. E-mail me with stories to tell about how they work in the field. Also remember to pay it forward.

Best of luck,
