The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
By William Kamkwamba
This true story is an amazing story of how resilient young people can be. William, a young man living in Malawi had to stop going to school to help his family out when the country was going through a drought. All William wanted to do was be educated and make life easier for his family. In his free time, William went to the village library and read about electricity, he scoured garbage dumps and he created a windmill to help bring electricity to his family farm. He was seen as being crazy by many, but what he did was incredible. This is a story of a boy finding a passion and working hard because he knew life could be made easier. Students will find true story amazing and hopefully will see a bit of them self in William.
