President obama thats great. Thank you. [applause] thank you, its an honor to be here. When i was growing up in rwanda, i used to be in the forest collecting firewood for my parents. Other children in africa are facing the same challenges, they are involved in a number of activities to help their parents just to prepare their meal instead of going to school. So as i was growing up, i kept thinking about something that i can do to help these families have access to alternative fuels they can use to replace charcoal wood that they have been using for many years.

But i know its still hard sometimes and frustrating. Lets go back to the earlier question i asked. What do you find to be some of the biggest hurdles for your success .
