Thanks! We love you. You're making this happen.
Thank you everyone for pitching in and getting us to 111% of our funding goal! I've attached an image that you're welcome to share on twitter / facebook. Help us share this story and connect with more people as we will be tweeting and uploading regular video's and interviews!
Your support is why this project can happen and I am so proud to call you my backers, my community. DIY? Hell yeah, this is a community supported project supported by a community and we're creating a world with more smiles, more empowered people, and more cool hacks!
If you want to share, I made this image which is a bridge called Qasr El-Nil, a bridge that goes to Tahrir, but the other side is wherever you post it. You're now connected to Tarek from Cairo Hacker Space, and all the other wonderful people and stories we will share with you. I hope to continue this discussion when I get to Cairo tomorrow.
