The BoGo Light . . . helping to light the world . . .
http://www.BoGoLight.com



The BoGo Light
The BoGo Light is a scientific, eco-friendly breakthrough that is making an impact worldwide. From Cairo to Cape Town, from the Caribbean to the Amazon, it is improving the lives of individuals, families, and entire villages by replacing costly kerosene, candles, and disposable battery flashlights with an affordable, long lasting, solar flashlight.

BoGo means Buy one, Give one. We want our lights to benefit the less fortunate; therefore, with each light purchased in the developed world, a second identical light will be donated to an organization that will distribute it in the developing world with our direct financial support. Give the Gift of Light, and Help Us Change the World!

How it Works:
For $25.00 plus shipping in the United States...
- We send one light to you
- We send one light (and donate $1) to a charity of your choice

Benefits:
The rugged construction will provide reliable and renewable light for years. Over time, the light costs next to nothing compared to conventional flashlights since it is recharged by the sun
Your donated light will have a real impact improving education, health, and safety in the developing world.

Recipient organizations are all non-profits, non-governmental organizations, and religious groups who will distribute lights to the developing world. You may also choose to send the donated lights as gifts to US troops.

- much more to learn . . .

1. It's like the $100 laptop! I wonder if 'developing world' includes New Orleans.
