Back to where it all started…(written by founder Sam)

Where is that? South-Africa! Back in 2014 the idea of Correctbook came up with me right here. Now I am here for the second time, ready to take the next steps forward to establish Correctbook Africa. And I’m not the only man on this job, I’m doing this together with Roel de Haas: co-owner of Correctbook Africa. I met Roel through Edukans.

Who is Roel? I will tell you more about that first. Roel worked for his own company for years, organising the logistics of development aid projects in different African countries. He made sure millions of books were produced at the right locations and were safely transported to the right destinations. He developed this responsibility to such an extend that he could even present track & trace codes for these transports! Awesome, isn’t it? I am super happy with Roel joining the team, because he brings in a load of valuable field experience and a network of contacts in Africa.

Together with Roel I visited an old acquaintance; the director of Afrika Tikkun (a South-African non-profit community that upholds youth development as the hallmark of change). I had last seen him years ago, when Correctbook had just started. The director has his own foundation called Rhiza which battles against extreme poverty and this became the very first foundation to which we donated Correctbooks.

But what are our further plans in South-Africa? Making more impact obviously! This means thinking of ways to make our products available in the book stores in South-Africa, but also how to enter the market of ngo’s and donors. In order to do this we will need to obtain the Correctbooks in South Africa. That’s why we are working hard to set up a production location in this beautiful country where my adventure started.

Your Correctbook snow white again!

Wiping & rubbing; it can’t be that hard right? Definitely not! There are a few clever tricks to make your Correctbook as white as snow in a quick & easy way. In this blog we hope to give you some useful instructions, to avoid having a sore arm ever again.

Less is more

The little eraser: at the bottom of the Correctbook pen a little eraser is attached. You can erase small errors with this. Do you want to erase complete failed artworks? You better use one of the options below!

Your clean routine

The cleaning cloth: our textile star which you get for free with each of our notebooks. This microfiber cloth is very useful for big surfaces. And the best thing is that you can use it endlessly, because you can just throw it in the washing machine. If you want it to come out shiny and pretty, please do not use a fabric softener. It doesn’t really like heat so please avoid washing programs with a temperature above 60°Celsius. Lifehack; damp the cloth a little bit, your page will be white in no time!

Spray it till you make it

The cleaning kit: let me introduce you to the ideal combo – the cleaning spray and the cleaning cloth. The cleaning spray is a special water-based liquid, which will make ink and/or ink residue disappear easily. But that’s not the only thing; it also protects your Correctbook© Core Pages. The ink cannot absorb easily in the pages anymore.
