  1. Solar lanterns replace kerosene killers in Africa - The Science Show - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Kerosene lanterns are used for lighting across Africa. They result in poor health outcomes and loss of life due to accidents. An alternative is the cheap, highly efficient solar lantern. They provide better light, and remove the poor health outcomes of kerosene lamps. Jeremy Leggett describes a new model for aid where crowdfunding allows capital to be sourced to fund manufacture and distribution of lamps to poor people in Africa. Following early success, there is an ambitious plan to see the end of kerosene lamps by 2020.

    Guests:
    Jeremy Leggett, Founder and Chairman Solar Century and Solar Aid, London UK

  5. SXSW: We Are Browncoats: Leveraging Fan Communities for Charity

    Panel from SXSW 2011.

    “One Film, Five Charities and No Sleep” is another great title for this panel discussing Browncoats: Redemption, the independent film based in the world of Firefly/Serenity created by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible). The mission of the project is two-fold: create a new film making model and raise over $500,000 for five charities supported by the cast and creator of the original TV and movie. There is a desire for many to make films and for others to do charitable works. The creative team of the film project Browncoats: Redemption have found a way to leverage a passionate and dedicated community to call for volunteers, build a community, promote a film, and raise tons of money for charity. Over the last two years 160+ volunteers, many with no film industry experience, have filled 200+ roles in different phases of the project. The thing that ties them all together is that they are fans of Firefly. They are Browncoats. The film’s creators will discuss the project along with how they leveraged online media distribution models and social media tools to build the community, recruit volunteers from all over the country to be a part of the production, and most important, grow the audience and momentum in preparation for the film’s release.

    ‘KUOW has learned that 19 people working for charities in the Puget Sound region earned more than $1 million in 2008. The nonprofit groups paid the seven–figure sums even as Washington state fell into its worst recession in decades. According to the charities’ filings with the IRS, another 59 employees earned at least $500,000 that year.

    The charities are the region’s nonprofit hospitals. John Ryan brings us this KUOW investigation.’
