The boy who harnessed the wind

on
An inspiring story that I have just read about in the latest WIRED UK (catching up on my holiday reading this morning...)
TED fellow William Kamkwamba took scrap metal from the local dump near where he lived in Malawi and made it into windmills...


William has turned this story into the book: The Boy who harnessed the wind.

One of many inspirational TED videos...
Demonstrates the power of books in a library, which we need to remember sometimes...

This was featured in the Guardian several months ago. I cut out the article but have now lost it so I'm reaaly pleased that you've found an online video. Many thanks for sharing.
