WHAT DID I WATCH ON NETFLIX: "THE BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND"


The story of William Kamkwamba, a 13-year old school boy, who invented the windmill and brought back water to the village during drought and this had made planting crops possible and humans stay alive. It really reminds me of the short story we used to teach in school many year back entitled "Looking for a Rain God". Based on a true story in Malawi, the movie displayed the African culture, the hard lives people had to endure and the politicians who were corrupted, guess everywhere is the same.  The young protagonist, William, shows that being intelligent is not enough but being determined is the key factor to make things happen.



And this is the real William Kamkwamba, sharing his real life story on TedTalk, which is very inspiring.
