Hippo-Roller

Many women and children in Africa spend between three and nine hours a day carrying water to their homes. They use 20-litre plastic buckets, which they carry on their heads. The buckets are very heavy and often cause back and neck injuries. So engineers Pettie Petzer and Johan Jonker designed a ‘rolling wheel’ which can carry ninety litres of water and is much easier to move. 33,000 ‘Hippo-Rollers’ have been made and delivered to remote villages in Africa. The results are good: women have more time to look after their families, the children have more time at school, and there are fewer injuries.

LifeStraw

There are 780 million people in the world who don’t have clean safe drinking water. This fact led the Swiss company Vestergaard to invent a special kind of straw that allows people to drink dirty water without getting ill. The LifeStraw is a long thin tube that cleans the water as it passes through into somebody’s mouth. LifeStraw is very light and can clean up to 1,000 litres of water before you need to replace it. LifeStraw was used to help people after the Haiti earthquake, and floods in Pakistan and Thailand.

AidPod

When Simon Berry was travelling in Zambia, he noticed that he could buy Coca-Cola in the remotest villages. But in these same villages the people had no medicines and, because of that, one in five children were dying before their fifth birthday. He had an idea. ‘Why don’t they bring medicines when they deliver the Coca-Cola?’ So he invented the AidPod, a triangular packet of medicines that fits between the bottles in a crate of Coca-Cola. Berry has experimented with a number of designs for his AidPod and is testing his ideas in Zambia. If his plan works, he hopes to do the same thing in other African countries, and save thousands of lives.

1) The Hippo‐Roller reduces the risk of back and neck injuries.

Alone At Sea

On 29 January 1982, Steven Callahan left the Canary Islands in a small yacht. He was planning to sail to the Caribbean.

But a week later, during an awful storm, something (probably a whale) hit the yacht and made a huge hole in it. Water was coming in and the boat was sinking fast. He had to act quickly!

Steven got into an inflatable life raft and just had time to get a sleeping bag, a first-aid kit, some food, maps, and a torch from the yacht before it sank. He also managed to get a copy of a book called Sea Survival. It contained lots of useful information about surviving at sea. But he couldn’t rescue the radio from the yacht.

Alone in the life raft, Steven travelled slowly across the Atlantic Ocean. His food ran out after a few days so he had to survive by catching sea-birds, fish and flying fish. He drank rain water which he caught in the raft.

During this time, Steven saw nine ships. But unfortunately they didn’t see him. He was beginning to think that he might not survive. He was starving, exhausted, weak and very thin.

Some men were fishing near Steven’s raft. After 76 days, they saw the sea-birds that were flying around and took Steven to the island of Guadeloupe. After his terrifying experience, he was finally in the Caribbean!

7) Where did Steven Callahan begin his journey?
