Hi Michael,

I've been looking back over the BFP entries and wonder if you might be interested in DIY Solar.
Have a look at http://biodesign.webeden.co.uk/ and come back via
biodes@bigfoot.com if you want to know more!

Michael,

Hi!  Came across your blog via BFP.  Very interesting read indeed.  I was recently in Malawi assisting organisations both MSMEs and large corporates with business consultancy services.

This opened up a great avenue for me to be able to do more but providing new capacity building initiatives for economic diversity by working on long term solutions of taking banking to the unbanked, and developing educational initiatives for the rural areas.

I am looking for some assistance and wondering if I could please connect and pick your brain.  I can be contacted on personal@nishiagrawal.com and would be happy to call you over the next week to discuss further.

Thanks and regards,

Nishi
