Wow amazing. What a smart man and how resourceful. He built a windmill from a tractor fan and wood. If we had more people in this country like William Kamkwamba we would have a totally different society.

As you can see from this video it does not have to be. Truley remarkable. I love basketball and feel people like ARod and Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning are great but this guy should be as great as a superstar as them. We have all the wrong heroes. Could you imagine if kids looked up to William like they do singers or athletes. Wow!

I really resonate with this post; I think American kids far too often worship and adore people who are nice and shiny on the surface….but have virtually zero substance where it counts….
