Hugh was one of our early supporters who got behind our mission at Global Teacher and we can’t wait to share the impact that these 10 boxes will have on classrooms all over the world.”

  • Solar panel – 40W foldable, waterproof solar panel which is lightweight and perfect for off-grid locations. 
  • Battery –  Long-life, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, ideal for harsh conditions.
