william-kamkwambaWe wanted to share this heartwarming story about a young, uneducated, poor African boy in Malawi, Africa who did the extraordinary. While attempting to survive genocide, in a war ridden country, he harnessed the wind to create energy to help his family and rural farming community. Young William was only 14 years old when he scrounged for scraps to build his own windmill. In his autobiography he wrote “A windmill meant more than just power, it was freedom.” Read William’s touching story in the following article: http://www.good.is/post/african-dynamo/?gt1=48001. You can see just how much something so little really can do to make a tremendous impact on lives.
