Prototype of a new portable solar-rechargeable light developed by Book Wish Foundation http://bookwish.org and AltusLumen http://altuslumen.com for use in refugee camp classrooms and other remote locations.
This is a very bright light (140 lumens) with a large battery capacity (6 hours on max), which can be recharged in about 4 hours.
Video demonstrates mounting the folding solar panel on top of the carrying case, connecting the light's battery pack for charging, and hanging the light on a wall or from the ceiling.

"In Darfur it was a strategy of the government to keep us uneducated. They thought that if we were educated we would make more demands on them and they didnt like that idea. That is why we say, they fight us with education. Someone who is not educated is like a blind man. How can a blind man show you the way?"
"To go back we need peace. We dont want a conflict between us. But if you want to find a solution, if you want to do anything at all, you need to be educated." Yahya Mahamat Oumar, Treguine camp
-----------------------------------------------------------------
