I'm 21 and I can say that we need more young people like this in the world. Unfortunately, though, we have a lot of distractions nowadays, such as internet, video games, and so much idiotic drama/fads. A lot of talented people who may have possessed talent similar to that of William's go untapped because, well, they falter. Great job, William. You make me proud!
You should see the picture of the circuit breaker he hand made as well. That it actually functions is quite amazing and very impressive. Know anybody that's hand crafted their own magnetic circuit breaker using nails, wire and wood?
This story is awe-inspiring. If you think you have it hard, someone else out there has it harder than you. So we need to stop complaining and give GOD thanks for the simple pleasures we have in life. It also shows things can be acheived if you make sacrifices and put your mind to it. This has inspired me.
This is amazing and a very inspiring story. You realize how much we loose because of poverty and missed opportunity.This young man did not allow those to impede his dreams. This is a must see for all young people. May the Lord bless this young man.
Man this is epic, I mean, building a Windmill on our countries would be awesome, though we usually have founds, material and knowledge at hand. His efforts are remakable, can´t believe some people around here don´t even try to reach what they want. William you are an example for us all. Best future for you man! Good luck with the Wind Farms.
We all can amaze our world but there are some like William who inspire us to discover what we can do to make a difference. Reaching out to others brings forth our full potential...who knows where it will take us.
It's easy for someone in the developed world to spout ideologies like this. Try thinking that way in a country with little or no infrastructure. What would you have become had you been born in rural Malawi? It was government that allowed us to become more than a collection of waring tribes. Sure, too much government is bad, but generalizations that take things to an extreme just show how naive some people are. As in most things, the middle road is best. Ideologies usually lead to disaster.
Too bad this has to be a special story. If only there were more people like this guy, Africa would be a better place. Try to imagine how it is to be this guy. To grow up with limited knowledge and means. Respect, even if it is somewhat simple in our eyes
Awesome! Now if only the laws in my township would allow me to have a professionally built, professionally installed windmill. I will be forwarding this video and a copy of the book to my legislature. Im hoping it inspires them as much as it did me. Keep making a difference!
This guy didn't have the resources to build the windmill because he was poor but he was determined. When there's a will there's always a way.
William is my new hero!
His big dreams and big efforts created positive change and an entirely new lifestyle.

Tears of joy. I am so proud to be African. This is what it's all about.
It's people like him that make we want to work harder and do something with my life.
Why hasnt Oprah showcased this guy. This story needs to be told everywhere.

I'm reading his book "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and it's even better than the video. He's amazing - am so glad that his story is being told.

ive met him...an amazing guy...truly amazing and inspirational
Awesome work. This is stuff that our leading African universities are unable to even initiate yet a school dropout does it. Bravo!
Sei un grande William, continua così! Questo documentario mi ha bagnato gli occhi di gioia, da molta speranza
Actually he used textbooks. Right at the beginning he says that.
It's still impressive that all he used were textbooks, though.
Amazing history! This guy is really cool and smart.
Very well composed, an inspiring story for the masses, heartfelt by all, I'm sure!
Excellent work!

Not fair to call him a dropout, as he just couldn't afford schooling.

Awesome video. Shows you what you can accomplish with the little you have.
Keep at it. For the earth and people
greetings from poland William, good works :)
Awesome!

Keep making a difference!
I love this! Truly inspiring!
Power to the people!!
Inspiring =)...
Great job, Will, keep up the great work and doing your best!
Awesome, good luck sir!
Yup, built it out of garbage with no formal schooling.
Try it and let us know how it goes.
