On March 13 I asked my instructor if the pedal-powered cell phone would be a worthy project idea. He was very encouraging and emphasized how important such a project might be as it could really improve the quality of life for residents on La Gonave. Sure, a bicycle-powered cell phone charger is not a new invention, but making one cheaply out of scrap materials is a worthy endeavor that could make a difference in people's lives.
