In the beginning...

Saturday, January 26th,

Today, our team met for the first time this year, to talk before the clinic about possible options for this year. Earlier, certain members of our team suggested possibly trying a different approach to the challenge this year, and some ideas suggested were either mentoring another team or doing the challenge with a different goal, such as only using our left hands. However, as Anisha pointed out at the meeting, this type of frivolous activity detracts from the serious, life-altering spirit of the intense challenge. We realized that though may want to try different, ridiculous ways of completing the challenge, we must always hold in our hearts the spirit of saving African children from strenuous labor. We debated these ideas, and decided that we needed to obtain more information, from the people at the Tech about mentoring.
Mentoring would be a great idea to impart our skills and knowledge to a younger generation of aspiring tech-ites, but we realized that time constraints and logistical challenges could prove an impasse to the creation of possible prodigies. However, this challenge stresses the problem of creating renewable energy, and we still feel that renewing our knowledge in younger children is a way to create a lasting legacy of innovative spirit.
