Dear Friends and Backers,
First of all a huge “Thank You” for
supporting our project, “The High Cost of Cheap Gas”.
The 30 day crowd-sourcing
campaign led to many great things: South Africa's most watched
current-affairs show is interested to run this story in the format we
envisioned. We received funding separately from the kickstarter
campaign to bridge the time between now and the time we get further
funding. A foundation has indicated interest to fund about 80% of the
entire budget.
Often the only thing that separates success from failure
is whether we quit, well that won't be happening.
This has been a
great learning experience for us and helped us decide to start a
similar campaign on a different website. If you, as one of our 66
backers still want to support this project, you can transfer your
backing to our new page on Indiegogo that we will send out to you this
week.
Since the kickstarter campaign has ended your pledges are
returned to your bank accounts this week. The 3,600 USD we raised here
would go a long way in helping us to create a powerful and compelling
story, especially when combined with the other funding and partnerships
we have secured.
We have put a 10K USD budget together for the
new proposal on Indiegogo on a flexible funding model, meaning we get to
use the all of the donations you make. This allows all of you to still
be personally part of this project and makes sure that the story
continues. If you would like to make a direct contribution please let
us know through email or phone.
We would like to thank each one of
you for believing in us and supporting this important work, without you
it would not be possible. Feel free to contact us if you have any
questions, and please sign up to our Facebook page.
Warm Regards
Jeffrey and Mira
thanks for information
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI watched the tail end of the Big Debate Show on telly a few minutes ago and saw and heard you (Jeffrey). You have a very interesting take on the energy crisis. We, as you will see at our website, are creating renewable energy. Take a look at this: http://bamboric.com/renewable-energy/index.php/a-first-for-south-africa
