CELEBRITIES BRING RAY OF HOPE FOR JAPANESE TSUNAMI CHILD VICTIMS
Celebrities dug deep on Tuesday to send 2C Solar Light Caps to Japanese children orphaned by the recent tsunami.The HOPE For Orphans Japan fundraising event at Tokomona restaurant in Surrey Hills, has raised a total of over $76,000 to support orphanages in a remote area of Iwate Prefecture. The night was supported by personalities including Liam Neeson, Jimmy Barnes, Sam Neill, fashion designer Akira Isogawa, and rugby legend George Gregan, to name but a few.At the fundraising event a Solar Light Cap auction was led by Australian actor Bryan Brown. He asked attendees to buy the award-winning GreenTech caps for Japanese orphans, whose lives have been torn apart by the recent earthquake and tsunami. Under the spotlight of his own 2C, he passed caps round the restaurant to come back filled with cash. A born-and-bred Aussie, Brown quipped, “Where some countries invent penicillin, New Zealanders invent Solar Light Caps” MORE
Robin Visser and Christophe Berthomier successfully completed a trek through the 7 Emirates of the UAE in 7 days and raised $21,000 for the Japanese Tsunami Victims.They both really liked the caps and it helped them a lot on their journey, “the hat is brilliant, I wore it all the time” was just one of the things Robin Visser had to say. Christophe Berthomier said “the caps are great and we really put them to the test. Comfortable, light and very convenient at night as the lights work very well and last longer than we had expected”

We very pleased to have Steve Gurney share our stand as we made the New Zealand launch of our new Oasis style Solar Light Cap. Recall Steve Gurney demonstrated sustainable travel by crossing the Sahara desert using only wind power. In earlier days Steve won the NZ Coast to Coast 9 times. He is seen here making the show prize draw for 2C Solar Light Caps with EM ‘Power Girl’ who has won the Coast 2 Coast 3 times!
Winners were Stacey Frusher, Ken Carter, and Sean Wilson
One of our 2C Solar Light Caps was close at hand when the quake hit as I had been using it to read my book in bed. We had some broken glass on the bedroom floor and the dog was in there with us. Having light instantly saved both us and the dog from possible injury and continued to give us comforting light until the sun came up.

One of the Locomotive Engineers had his by the bed. After the shake, with the house coming down around his ears, he donned the hat, and was able to quickly find his children and exit the place. He credits your hat as saving them from injury and possibly worse.

Sooooooo handy in earthquake, handy everywhere actually, but a godsend Saturday 4.35 am.
Cheers, Lundy Bell
We met a really fantastic and enthusiastic crowd - some who had never seen the 2C Solar Light Cap, and others who owned them and again told us how much they loved them. We hear that alot.
Many thanks to Anya, the Buff distributor who drew our prize draw winners.
Winners were: Mike Smeets, Paul Olsen, Al Miller
Once again the people of New Zealand and the world turned off their lights for an hour to focus on reducing climate change, pollution and use of fossil fuels.What I cant understand is why they often light candles which are not a cleaner energy source.We celebrated with an Earth Hour party, lit only by 2C Solar Light Caps, recorded here as part of our Student Video competition. Please rate it !
Steve certainly is a man of action, and with his support team and kite making friend, Peter Lynn, they are off to break the land speed record for kite buggies.
We will keep you informed about their progress from our Facebook page - please become a fan to stay tuned
