  Filming with Brave, a set on Flickr.

  I had a fantastic time filming with @BraveMhonie and Bradbell.tv at Cafe Candid in Angel. Brave lives in Malawi, working as a SunnyMoney Field Coordinator. He spends 80% of his time out of the office; selling solar lights and helping us achieve our BHAG. Here Brave is demonstrating an S1 solar light to the camera.
  
  Brave spoke about the difference solar makes to a family using kerosene. He also spoke about life for people who can’t afford any type of fuel, who, once the sun sinks below the horizon, have to burn grass to see in their own homes.
  
  All in all it felt like a great interview - can’t wait until we have it ready for SunnyMoneyTV.

  My first voice over. I think this is a great example of how stills can create movement. It’s the latest film to illustrate our mission: ‘To banish kerosene lamps from Africa by the end of this decade’.

  Irene and Claire with a customer. Both children and adults showed up to find out what all the fuss was about. Others were just enjoying the music pumping from a PA system ran by local teenagers.

  The highlight of my time on Mafia Island was the Solar Day. SolarAider, Felix, held the mic in the town centre and demonstrated solar products to potential customers. Using the main stage Felix and a local entrepreneur demonstrated the lights and chatted with people. Meanwhile Irene, Victor, and Claire sold systems.

  Teachers in Mafia collecting their pre-ordered solar lights. Some were collecting S1s and others the larger Powapack systems.

  A group discuss an older solar light model. The man holding the lamp is asking how the new S1 light improves on the old design.
