An AMAZING MALAWIAN BOY ... A TRULY INSPIRING STORY

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: The Truly Inspiring Story of William Kamkwamba The story of William Kamkwamba does not start as most success stories do: William dropped out of school, when he was 14 because his parents were unable to pay the tuition fees (about $80 a year). To continue his education he went to a local library, where he found a book called Using Energy. This is how he got the idea to use wind – the only resource available in abundance in Malawa –to generate electricity for his family. When he brought home bicycle parts and other materials that he was able to collect in a local scrap yard for his project, his parents thought that he was crazy. His neighbors openly made fun of him. 14-year old William ignored them and kept on working… What William Kamkwamba’s story has in common with other success stories is an unstoppable determination and the burning desire to make things happen. Watch the video below and see proof that lack of money, lack of education, lack of resources or the lack of proper “tools” are not the defining factors that identify whether or not we will achieve our goals. It is our desire to succeed that counts the most!
