andreagraves5 's review for:
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope
by William Kamkwamba
WOW! This kid is ah-mazing. I just LOVE this story! I found this link to a video of him on youtube:

It was so fun to hear his voice and see his beautiful face in video. I'm blown away by the hardships he's overcome and how brilliantly resourceful and hopeful he was with next to nothing to work with. I'm so thankful he has wonderful educational opportunities now, he deserves them so much. I hope he fulfills all of his dreams with helping his country - I think he really will. Amazing guy.... excellent book - I'm so glad it was recommended to me for my book group, I would not have prolly found it on my own... I would jump at a chance to meet this guy - he's so inspiring! :)
P.S. I went and donated $25 towards the building of primary school buildings in Malawi here that William (the author is in charge of): http://williamkamkwamba.typepad.com/
