Angaza Design
My name is Darby Geno I have lived in White River Junction all my life. I went to Hartford High School and played soccer and lacrosse. I am hoping to playing lacrosse at Nichols this spring. My position in Lacrosse is LSM. For people that don’t know what that is LSM is a Long stick middy. I am a defensive middy that comes on and off the field depending on if we are on defense or not. I am majoring in General Business but I don’t really know what I want to do with it. A dream job for me would be a job with a high enough salary that I can have a nice house and a nice car and probably a motorcycle. I don’t think that I would want to own my own business because my father owns his own business and he is always working. Even on weekends he has to deal with work related issues. I think it might be fun to run my own business but I don’t know if it would really be worth it with all the time and aggravation that he puts up with. I think that I would like to work for a semi big company but not an extremely large one. If it were an extremely large company I think I would just feel like a number to some people.

I
most admire the founders of Angaza Design, Lesley Silverthorn and Bryan Duggan
because they are working to give people with no technology besides
kerosene lamps and giving them solar powered lights. Angaza Design is selling
solar powered phone chargers to people in Afghanistan, India and Uganda for
much less than what they would pay for a Kerosene lamp. Yet they are still
making a profit for themselves. I think that is why I like the idea so much,
because they are doing good but at the same time making money. Even thought
they did not make that much in 2011 with only making $30,000. Yet Lesley
Silverthorn expects to close an $800,000 round for angels by November and reach
$430,000 in Revenue in 2012. If you don’t look at the money that they are
making It sounds a lot like aid but it is not. Nick Leiber says, “ We’re not
giving aid. We’re providing access to products that [individuals] can us to
lift themselvesout of poverty.”
My name is Jess Kelliher and I agree exactly with what you said in this. My mom's boyfriend owns his own restaraunt so he is always busy. He seems to be always stressed out so that is why I am somewhat hesitant to start my own company. I also agree that the Angaza Design is a very inspiring business. The people who run it seem so caring and concerned about the rest of the world.
