BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND,THE - Harper Collins

A moving, touching, important story. One more reminder of how small the world is and how powerful the human spirit can be. SETH GODWIN William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, a country where magic ruled, modern science was a mystery, hunger and drought were a daily reality, and hope and opportunity were hard to find. Faced with crippling adversity and unable to afford the tuition to pursue his passion for science at school, William had a crazy idea. With only a few old text books and incredible determination, William constructed a crude windmill. This unlikely contraption would prove to be the small miracle that would eventually bring electricity and water to William's village, changing the community and transforming the lives of those around him.
