Speakers: Gene and Keidy Palusky | XTorch
\nGene and Keidy from Edina\, MN are the founders/creators of the XTorch\, a solar powered device that works as a flashlight\, lantern and cell phone charger.
\nLack of light is a common problem in developing countries. Keidy experienced the issue first hand growing up in the Dominican Republic and while she and Gene were helping children in Equatorial Guinea\, Africa.
\nNow their life passion is to get aXTorch into the hands of energy-poor children and advocate the humanitarian benefits of a solar-rechargeable light. \;They donate at least 25% of profits to disaster relief organizations. \;Last \;year\, they donated 2\,000 devices that went to Haiti and the Colombia-Venezuela border. \;
\nSince launching in 2014\, they'\;ve donated more than 4\,000 XTorches. \;The more people who buy XTorch\, the more they can donate to non-profit organizations. \; \;
