Deirdre Bounds (founder of i-to-i), Seb Bishop and Tony Callaghan have accepted a challenge for a Channel 4 series which is to be aired in September. There challenge was to to start a business in a Ugandan village – without running water or electricity – in just three weeks.

All three accepted and built a eco-hotel. where guests teach primary school children English during the day. Airfare is taken from the £900 TeachInnUganda package cost and the rest goes back into other businesses in the community.

I think after the series airs the website will get thousands of visitors and which then convert into bookings and it is already booked up til Dec!

I will be watching! Other entrepreneurs involved are Dominic McVey, Yvonne Tompson, Pepita Diamond, Steve Morgan and Shahid Azeem.
