Last few hours!

Update #10 · Aug 23, 2011 · comment

Can you help us reach our goal by 6 am Wednesday? There are only 12 hours to go! Sincere thanks to everyone who's been so generous and active with us. 

Will you send a tweet or note with our link to 5-10 friends?  It's never too late to reach out once more if you haven't already or adjust a reward.  The cost of a movie night, as Scott said at Next Billion. 

Possible tweet: Watch #global #innovators at #work! http://kck.st/jrLUNg

Or email: Wednesday 6 am EDT is the deadline for our Kickstarter campaign [http://kck.st/jrLUNg short ~$1400 in pledges, or we lose them all.  

We can meet the deadline together to tell these stories!  and thank you. Here's a child in my 'hood in Kigali. A bold, curious face of the future, hungry to learn and unafraid.
