Gadgets in Africa: Solving everyday problems with African ingenuity
The FLAP Bags Arrive
This is part of an ongoing series of posts on the FLAP bag project, a collaborative effort by Timbuk2, Portable Light and Pop!Tech. We at AfriGadget are helping to field-test these bags that have solar power and lighting on them, and get interviews of the individuals using them.

Tune in for part 2 later… in the meantime, some pictures:
