SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

Over the past couple of months, poor Gareth has been having to cough up some of his own money to buy bits and pieces to continue the development work :-( sniff...
So I said to Esibayeni (the organisation I’m working for). “I’ve got no money, you’ve got no money. We need money”.
And so they got on the phone and wrote a funding proposal to a South African Investment Fund and the World Bank for a seed grant so that we have enough money to get the project to the point where we can build a prototype. Anyway, the South African guys seem keen and are sending someone to interview us, so fingers crossed! This would mean we have enough money for supplies and equipment, and enough to pay for me to stay until the end of March. Great!
