Bringing Solar MP3s with Quality Content to Underserved Schools in Sub-Saharan Africa and Beyond with Kristine Pearson

Kristine shares her story of winning the 2005 Tech Award (co-sponsored by the Tech Museum of Innovation and Miller Center). The $50,000 prize was pivotal in helping her raise additional capital because donors like to be first to go second.
