An Inspiring Story!

I dropped by Anton's blog as I tend to do every day and saw something that caught my eye in his side-bar SugarCubes - an amazing story about William Kamkwamba, a 19 year old boy in Malawi who had to quit school because his family did not have money. So, he started teaching himself from books. And he learned how to do things and used whatever materials were available to design and construct a windmill, a transformer and other stuff. A bunch of African bloggers picked up a story about him and one thing led to another - he spoke at TED conference, got funds for schooling, and, just a few weeks ago, as soon as he first laid his hands on a computer, started his own blog.
