Hi,

Me and Bilal Ghalib (founder of All Hands Active hackerspace in Ann 
Abor, Michigan), are going to Maker Faire Africa to create a 3-day 
hackerspace there. This will help the founders of the Cairo hackerspace 
make their forming space into a physical reality, which, in turn, will 
help get hackerspaces get going throughout Africa.  We have recently 
seen how important hackerspaces are in helping people in Africa live 
more fulfilling lives.  Let's see how much more we all can do with so 
little!

We got seed funding from Maker Faire Africa, and we need to raise 
another $7,022 in the next 19 days on our Kickstarter campaign.  If you 
can give a $1, please do!  If you can give a little more, please do!  
Any amount is great!

Thanks!
