Send Us to SU Global Summit
My name is Aisa Mijeno, I come from the Philippines. Together with my brother, Raphael, we founded SALt: a social enterprise who innovated a lantern that uses saltwater as medium to give light.
On July 31st, we received a letter from Silicon Valley's Singularity University to participate in the Global Grand Challenge Awards . After a rigorous evaluation of applicants, we were one of the chosen few given the chance to present under the energy track in front of a wide variety of audiences which we deem would help scale and accelerate our social enterprise. 
However, due to this year's attendees and invited renowned speakers, Singularity University will be unable to sponsor the travel expenses: airfare and accommodation of the invited participants, thus we are looking for travel grants, sponsorship and raising funds to support my brother, Raphael Mijeno, to be part of the event. If granted, we will be the first Filipino to present at Singularity University's energy track.
Singularity University is a very well-known benefit corporation that provides educational programs, innovative partnerships and a startup accelerator to help individuals, businesses, institutions, investors, NGOs and governments understand cutting-edge technologies, and how to utilize these technologies to positively impact billions of people. Founded by a former NASA scientist and a famous inventor, Singularity University believes that to educate, inspire and empower leaders to apply exponential technologies is the way to solve humanity's grand challenges.
And this would really be a great platform to showcase what we do if ever we will be able to have a successful fund raising.
We hope you can help us raise funds and spread the word for us to get more support.
Thank you very much!

Airfare and Transportation: $1,100
Accommodation: $700
Other Expenses (Food, Events-Related): $300
