Elle Magazine & The Portable Light Project: Bid, Win, Give
Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 9:00AM Had I been Aladdin with three wishes, one of those wishes would've been for the perfect handbag. One that not only carried my worldly possessions but one that could possibly charge my phone? Or always be stocked with yummy snacks that Sabra's Supremely Spicy Hummus and Stacy's Pita Chips? (A girl can dream!)
While I'll live if my laptop dies, I will not if my Blackberry croaks! Beyond brilliant architect, Sheila Kennedy, developed a bag with a small solar panel, an HBLED light, a rechargeable battery pack and a USB port! (I know - things couldn't be better right?) Kennedy is director at the Portable Light Project, a revolutionary non-profit that provides solar textile kits to help those who have no access to electricity.
