Thato Kgatlhanye and her childhood friend, Rea Ngwane, are 21 and 22 year olds from Rustenburg, a mining town in the Northwest part of South Africa who have truly turned trash into treasure. They are the founders of Repurpose Schoolbags which do not only carry the children's items, but they have reflective material on them so that the kids will be visible to early-morning traffic. The best part is that they double as a lights powered by solar charging panels on the sides of the packs, and when the sun goes down and the moon rises, the children will have light to do homework. In conclusion, I think this is good because instead of using one candle that has to be saved over the entire week, they can have their bags charged to use during each night of the week! Finally, I want to hear from you. Is there a better way of doing this, or is this the future of cheap technology? Tell me!
