His family didn't have enough money for food, let alone school, so William spent his days in the library. He came across a book on windmills and figured out how to build a windmill that could bring electricity to his village. Everyone thought he was crazy but William persevered and managed to create a functioning windmill out of junkyard scraps. Several years later he figured out how to use the windmill for irrigation purposes"- William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer ; pictures by Elizabeth Zunon f-mw-- Kamkwamba, William [E] 9780803735118 (hardback : acid-free paper) 000028/0000285f.jpg 000028/0000285f.jpg DLC 117000 eng
