Just another heart-breaking story from Africa. Scarce water and food and no income, so a boy is kicked out of school because he can't pay. So he decides to build a windmill, is regarded as the local nut-ball, and a few years later proves them all wrong. Now he's traveling the world and attending a prestigious Leadership school in South Africa.
He's a great example of:
- tenacity despite having no supplies, resources or even tools (you think you have resource problems; he had to make his own screw-driver)
- curiously finding out as much as he could about windmills until he succeeded
- courage to pursue a dream no one believed in
