Week 7 Blog William Kamkwamba

This is truly an amazing feat this boy at the age of fourteen has developed a windmill from spare parts to power his home. That is truly amazing, he is similar to Thomas Edison in a way, he was not looked upon as having no real intelligence and he developed something so remarkable. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and William Kamkwamba developed a windmill to power his home. He is not just stopping with that, he plans to build a large windmill that is powerful enough to provide electricity to his entire village. He is a kid with a dream and he has turned into a celebrity as a result. This man will probably eventually help the world with green house gas emissions by going green and rely less on oil and more on the natural forces of nature. If he has done all of this by the age of nineteen, there is no telling what he will do in the future.

I though it was great also for someone to not think of themselves but put everyone around him first.
