Our recent post featuring William Kamkwamba’s presentation from July’s TED Conference inspired some great responses from readers. As a 14 year old son of a Malawian farmer, Kamkwamba visited a library in the midst of a terrible famine, and, inspired by pictures he saw in a book, he built a windmill at his home which would eventually provide power to his small village.
Kamkwamba appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart earlier this week. It’s a great interview and an amazing story.
