Report

'THE BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND is the inspiring story of a young man in Africa who used the only resources available to him to build a windmill and elevate the lives and spirits of those in his community. William Kamkwamba's achievements with wind energy should serve as a model of what one person, with an inspired idea, can do to tackle the crisis we face. His book tells a moving and exciting story.'
Al Gore, former Vice President and Nobel Laureate
'A moving, touching, important story. One more reminder of...how powerful the human spirit can be.'
Seth Godin, author
