TWe talked to Karishma Bhagani and Fran Siracusa. Karishma Bhagani is a student at NYU who had an idea to make a water purifier. She used to live in Kenya and so she knows what it’s like to live in poverty. The water purifier costs $10 and its purpose is to provide clean drinking water for places in the world that don’t have that. I think it’s very good that Karishma is helping people around the world and putting an end to one of the world’s problems.

some questions I have:

how is it different from other water purifiers?

how do you plan to deliver the water purifiers around the world?

How does it work?

How do you plan to get the supplies?

From this Google Hangout I learned that if you work hard for what you want, you can change the world and make a difference. I also learned that a lot of people don’t pay attention to countries in poverty. Furthermore, I learned that you can use natural ingredients to purify water.

Some questions that were answered (paraphrasing):

Q: How did you feel when you were done creating the project?

A: On top of the world!

Q: Is it possible to use salt water from the ocean?

A: Salt water is full of saline so not at the moment but hopefully in the future.
