Although the Chrome Documents focus on the issues of transparency and open government, particularly as these topics relate to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, I find it’s important to take a break now and then for something positive.
What follows is the uplifting and inspiring story of William Kamkwamba, a Malawian who at age 14 built his own windmills after checking out a book from his local library. The book contained pictures but no technical details of how to build the windmills.
William will be participating in this year’s Maker Faire Africa.
