Product description
I was curious, tried it and it worked.
when the small villages in malawi succumb to the drought, william kamkwamba is thirteen years old. When his family loses their entire year's crop due to drought, he, like everyone else, also experiences hunger.
almost every night, he goes to bed on an empty stomach, witnesses the starving death of people around him one by one. As if this wasn't enough, he has to leave his beloved school due to poverty, but instead of giving up, he challenges the absence and impossibilities with his curiosity, intelligence, and joy of life. Maybe william can't go to school, but every day he holds the path to the village library, where he discovers science books and opens the doors to a whole new world in front of him.
he now has a dream: he will build a windmill, bring electricity to his village, water to the fields.
thus, no one will ever go hungry again.
because there is no way to buy the materials to make the windmill, he starts digging through the trash cans and collecting scrap. Even though everyone, including his own family, looks at him like crazy, he doesn't give up on his dream because he sees opportunity where everyone else sees garbage.
he is curious, tries and succeeds.
