Answer 1

While Trevor Baylis was listening to a radio programme about villages in rural Africa, he had a great idea. According to the programme, most villages did not have electricity, so communication with the outside world was a problem. While people in cities were receiving the latest health information, people in the countryside were not getting enough information and education. Baylis went to his workshop and began experimenting. He soon made a working radio with no batteries - a wind-up radio. While he was trying, without luck, to sell his idea to companies, he had a lucky break. His radio appeared on a BBC TV programme, and someone who had money to invest in the project was watching. As a result, the Freeplay radio became a huge success.
