I’m pretty excited as I have never been anywhere outside N. America. And I am very interested in doing work in less-developed regions of the world especially related to sustainable design.  Since I had such a great experience using kickstarter to raise money for BBgum Fusion, I decided to give it a shot to help cover some of the travel costs.  Most of the prizes will be gathered either in Nairobi or around the hospital itself so that’s pretty cool.  I always like exploring markets for handmade goodies.

So now starts the fun part of the project. Trying to locate all the necessary parts.  I think most of the parts are going to be pretty easy to locate. The only piece I sense will be a real trouble is the globe.  I’ve emailed 3 precision glass fabricators and not one will give me an estimate of the pressure or voltage their product can withstand. But I am not worried, even if I have to blow my own, I will find a globe that can contain fusion.
