William Kamkwamba - HOW I HARNESSED THE WIND.

InnoTown®2012
Inventor, Student and Author.
A remarkable success story about the power of human ingenuity in the face of crippling odds, William´s talk will inspire anyone who doubts the power of one individual to change the world. Like most boys in the village, Kamkwamba grew up believing that magic ruled the world and hardship dominated life. When he turned 14, he had to drop out of school because his parents could no longer afford the $80-a-year tuition. While seeking distraction from boredom and starvation at the community library, he discovered something that dramatically changed the course of his future; the miracles of science.

I have everything in my possession to build an empire yet I do nothing. Necessity is the mother of all inventions. This boy of 14 built a windmill by reading a book and harvesting materials from a junk yard and saved his village from famine. He literally brought light to his world by generating electricity from the windmill.
