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.

It occurred to me, not for the first ti when watching the movie, that we have created a world in which one human being has a monetary 'worth' of around two hundred billion dollars, and as recently as this (and still today) we have people suffering for the want of a simple windmill. Humans- amazing creatures, with hearts on both ends of the spectrum of selfish and teeny, and loving and huge. What a great mind this gentle man has.

I'm inclined to agree with you, about necessity is the mother of invention. This movie reminds me a lot of my childhood. Even though we had more than Thomas, we were still just above poverty. But as kids we would take our adventurous and creative minds outside and made our fun, and found ways to put money in our pockets like going to store for neighbors for 25cents, which bought our snacks. And catch a June bug and tie a thread to his leg and fly him like a airplane. That was big fun to us. Or catch lighting bugs at night, and made our glow in dark shirts with their glow ends.[Sorry Animal Rights, but that was big fun to us]. And one science project that blew my mind was 2styrofoam cups, a long thread, and 2buttons, and we created a telephone where I could talk to my friend, across the street, on his porch. I wish kids nowadays would put their phone down for a few minutes and try a few of those science projects, and feel the joy it brings. That's why I agreed with your comment, because I know for sure if our pockets had been packed with wealth, there is no way we would have tried any of these things. That's why I'm truly thankful for my childhood, for the lessons, people, and experiences it brought me.

A very inspiring young man; WK is walking evidence that if there is a Will, there is a Way. So true; when one does "strange" things, we all say, he's crazy, eccentric or mad. But seriously, these "crazy" ones have changed the world. I liken WK's "madness" to when Noah was building the ark...the "mad" ones were the only ones that survived. Thank you William, you saved a whole generation of Malawians and truly a whole lot more worldwide. May God continue to bless you in your endeavors.

At 14 years old he was forced out of school. He did not allow that circumstance to stop him from learning, so he went to a library. There he spent time reading books but one book change his life and made him known in the internet and on other famous/known platforms. Lesson learnt: 1. Go to the library. 2. Read books and take note of something you wanted to do or further you study on or work on. 3. Put in action what you read and it will come to completion. Nb. I will definitely start going to the Library in preparing myself for my resumption of Uni. As well, to learn something on my other fields of interest. Library!!!!!!!!!!!
