Mr. Papa Bashiru is a highly satisfied Burro client in Tin Kong, a large village on the main road, about 14 km south of Korforidua. He has no electricity at his home, so he is dependent on battery power for his entertainment. Mr. Bashiru tells us that with Burro he is saving a bit each month compared to his prior purchases of conventional batteries, but, more importantly, he tells us that he is now able to enjoy his radio far more than he was able to before Burro. He especially enjoys listening to the news in the evening after working his farm all day. He intends to renew his Burro subscription next month.

Whit/Jan,
Looks like a satisfied customer.
Great to see Burro taking off.
Best of luck and enjoy the adventure.
Hey Whit,
Ian (Mercer) told me about your venture so I looked it up.
It seems like a great and worthwhile venture, the best of luck with it.
I presume you know that something similar existed in the UK (and presumably the US) way back when. Before the war it was common for people to take large 'accumulators' to be recharged weekly at the local radio shop.
Best of luck

Thanks, Darren and Mark, for checking Burro out.
D - we should try to get some vertical in with MC whilst I'm home for a bit. Hope all is well...
Mark - what a great pleasure to hear from you after all these years. Thanks for the "accumulator" insight - something I should know, but didn't. That model is popular in Kenya to this day. I'm rather confident that Burro beats its promise on a number of fronts, but it demonstrates the intrinsic economic advantages to a rechargeable approach.
Please give my best to Ian and the rest of the gang as you see them.
-Whit
