    thats crazy, i personally think, as an African, we are scared to believe in ourselves because of our history, we are not confident to speak up for ourselves, we just in the background all the time. This guy had the language barrier but this day all them white folks are listening to him. Thanks for this video……

    “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”!! Incredibly inspiring…

  11. Dreams! The power of them will turn junk into a charger for your neighbors mobile phones! Dreamers, let’s keep dreaming! Everyone, let’s keep going, this planet is ours, then we pass it on the babies around us, let’s make them proud like William makes us all proud! Let’s EDUCATE AFRICA so Africa can engineeer an socialize andd BUILD itself from the inside out, it’s obviously possible. Imagine what William could do with a small investment and some real equipment! he doesn’t need a major factory. They need water and electricity and they can build it, regulate it and run it themselves, all they need is the KNOWLEDGE and they ALREADY have it in the library he went to. Don’t be discouraged! Let’s Go! Let’s WORK!

  12. “Trust YourselF and BelieVE.. dOnt Give Up.” Although he & his family lived in a bleak, depressing, bare lanD.. TheY RemaineD hopefuL. Miraculous things happen when you trusT your InnER self. The voice of knowledge..wisdom. Just listen & watch how far you’ll go. William Kamkwamba listened! He was givEN VISION, & execUTED. It is written… “Whoever Comes to me (The Creator of all existence) will NEVER be hungry, & whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John6:35 DREAM, BELIEVE, DO, REPEAT!
