^^^video above of conversation^^^

We contacted Karishma Bhagani and she told us all about her experience creating her $10 water purifier. She is currently a student at NYU but this chat was about her experience in Kenya. Her goal was to create clean drinking water for those in need of it, and the project was named the Matone De Chiwit project. I thought this was a great opportunity to have a guest speaker without having them come in physically. A fantastic learning experience for us and I would love to have more people Skype in.

Some of the questions my group and I had prepared were:
What influenced you to initiate this project?
How long did you live in Kenya?
Is Kenya overlooked when it comes to being a country in need of assistance?
Has your message on water reached enough people compared to your original goal?
Are there any other countries you plan on helping?

I learned in more depth about the water shortage worldwide, her experience and the people she had the chance to meet, and about the trials she went through to complete her project.
