The boy who harnessed the wind

Hi,

I would like to share this video with you.


William Kamkwamba - author of 'The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind'


There may be a 30 second ad for some other TV program before the interview. Seems to be random.

It is about a 14 year old school drop-out who read a picture book at a public library in Malawi, Africa and built a windmill from scrap materials found in his rather deprived environment.

Hear the witty William Kamkwamba himself recount his mission to overcome famine and poverty. Hear his amazing story, his cute accent and his sense of humour.

Cheers and Happy Deepavali to all Hindu friends.
