It's odd for me to list as a hero someone who's the age of my younger brother, but as I mentioned in my last post, William Kamkwamba certainly qualifies as a hero. As a teenager, William built a wind mill with the hope of one day breaking him and his community out of the cycle of poverty that grips the Malawi countryside. His determination, courage and vision makes him someone I admire.
There are many ways to follow what William is up to. The first is his
blog, which contains a lot of the initiatives he's part of now including his efforts to get wind power built in his hometown of Wimbe. You can also follow him on twitter @wkamkwamba. In addition to several fan pages, you can also friend him on facebook (assuming it's actually him, haha). I just sent an invitation, let's see if he accepts!
