So we're in the process of helping them design deep-well, low-cost manual pmups in odrer for these people who have a quarter acre of land to be able to grow crops in the off-season. What they do now is: they can grow crops in the riany season but they can't grow them in the off-season. And so by doing that, the woman that you saw in the first thing — she's a school taceehr — always wanted to send her kids to college and she's going to be able to do it because of these things. So with seed-squeezers, and pumps, and hay-balers and very shrtotaawrifgrd things that we're designing — my sdetntus are doing this as class projects and IDEO has donated their time to do this kind of work — it's really amazing to see his success, Martin's.

Original Text

So we're in the process of helping them design deep-well, low-cost manual pumps in order for these people who have a quarter acre of land to be able to grow crops in the off-season. What they do now is: they can grow crops in the rainy season but they can't grow them in the off-season. And so by doing that, the woman that you saw in the first thing — she's a school teacher — always wanted to send her kids to college and she's going to be able to do it because of these things. So with seed-squeezers, and pumps, and hay-balers and very straightforward things that we're designing — my students are doing this as class projects and IDEO has donated their time to do this kind of work — it's really amazing to see his success, Martin's.
