We gifted some units to rural villages in Thailand. "Wow! This is what we need!" said one of our recipients.
I am using one in my home for the light and to listen to songs. The battery can last for 10 days before I need to recharge it!
We find it very useful. When it is fully charged, it can play audio for 3 to 4 days. We were also able to use the light from 9pm to 5am for 3 days.
The sheep were very popular among the children, who walked around a lot with them and took them to bed to sleep!
We gave a sheep as a gift to a friend’s son at his party. He was so happy and joyful. All the kids that came to visit with their parents were sitting next to him listening to the stories. It was a really special gift, and his parents were very thankful as the boy was so attached to it.
Bought the sheep for my son. He finds it a special gift. We also enjoy listening to it together with him.
I would love to say that the kulumi radii is being very very useful for the kids and also for some some small groups
I thank you so much for your effort in putting this together.
I would love to have some more because I'm staying in a Indian community and also reaching out to Indian but the problem is they a don't attend school and learn how to read,listen to the audio is a very great tools reach them. Thank you.
Thank you so much.We have given to visually challenged persons.They are very grateful for the device.We have a ministry among visually challenged persons.Hope this will produce a lot of results.
It is small and portable to use everywhere and anywhere. I am listening to the audio. It would be very useful in the future. It is easy peasy to use in our country because we have a bunch of illiterate people in Nepal. Those who have not been to school. I am so impressed by Kulumi.
