Duke, everybody is allowed to have their own opinion, but I just want to say that FoST is a small, family run Nepalese organization dedicated to improve life in their own country. Have a look at my personal website: www.gorpproductions.com or at the website of FoST www.fost-nepal.org.
Because of their hard work, dedication and selfless efforts they are in the finals of the World Challenge 2007. The World Challenge is a GLOBAL COMPETITION and was set up three years ago by the BBC World, Newsweek and Shell to recognize the innovators of this world. Nobody said that FoST is working or supported by Shell or the BBC. Just look at the other finalists, they have nothing to do with renewable energy... they are focusing on completely different issues. It is not a competition about sustainable energies, it's a competition to make people around the world aware that there a people, unkown innovators, small organizations, dedicating their lives to improve the lives in their communities. And Duke, that is a great thing. If every individual would do half the things that Sanu Kaji Shrestha is doing than believe me the world would definitely be a better place. Because making a difference starts with yourself. If every individual person would contribute one little stone, all together we can build mountains!
FoST designs, develops and disseminates low-cost, adaptable products that improve the quality of life of Nepal’s rural and urban poor. EMPOWERING the poor communities, the women, the handicapped, the leprosy, the mentally retarded and the orphan groups by empowering through sustainable technologies. FoST deserves to win.
