Description
When 14 year old William Kamkwamba's Malawi village was hit by drought, everyone's crops began to fail. With no money for food or school, William spent his days in the library, and figured out how to bring electricity to his village. Persevering against the odds, William built a functioning windmill out of junkyard scraps, and thus became the local hero who harnessed the wind.
