 BBOXX Review
• Aisha Mulidwa is a BBOXX customer in an old railway town in Kasese, Western Uganda. She is 25 years old and has two
children. She came to BBOXX in search of a solar system for her home after hearing about BBOXX from a neighbour.
BBOXX sales agents helped her get a Solar Panel to charge two mobile phones and two light bulbs, and gave her our special
monthly payment plan.
• Aisha was so happy with her product that she recommended ten of her neighbours to see BBOXX for their solar systems.
Our BBOXX agents noticed her enthusiasm and offered Aisha a job as an official BBOXX sales agent in August 2014.
• Because she has difficulty reading and writing Aisha works with a student to help her fill out incoming applications and has
also hired a sales agent to help her with demand. By the end of her first week working with BBOXX, Aisha had brought in an
additional eight customers. Aisha is now one of BBOXX’s most successful sales agents and regularly helps us bring in new
customers in western Uganda
 Atacama Desert-Chile
• One of the driest places on Earth has blossomed after some unusual rain earlier this year.
• The Atacama Desert, primarily located in Chile along the Pacific Ocean, is flush with flowers after
relatively heavy precipitation in March and August fell in the drought-stricken region.
• The bloom generally occurs once every five to seven years, but rain in March and more in August
has produced an array of blooms reportedly not seen in such profusion in nearly two decades.
 Atacama Desert-Chile
• The rainfall on one day in March — 0.96 inches —
was the equivalent of approximately 14 years of
precipitation, according to The Washington Post.
• More than 25 people were killed and thousands
left homeless after the March rain, which caused
mudslides and flooding.
• If you'd like to see the carpet of more than 200
native plant species in person, you'll have to get
to Chile quickly, as the bloom will soon end

 El Nino-La Nina
• El Niño and La Niña are complex weather patterns resulting from variations in ocean
temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific
• El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases
• La Niña is sometimes referred to as the cold phase and El Niño as the warm phase. These
deviations from normal surface temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on
ocean processes, but also on global weather and climate.
• El Nino-ocean warming
• La Nina-rain, hurricanes, fog, floods
