Windmills in Malawi From Found Materials. YouTube, 6:06 min. "In late 2006, a Malawian newspaper wrote about William Kamkwmamba, a remarkable young man from a remote rural village north of the capital city. Forced to drop out of high school for lack of money, William saw a picture of a windmill in a textbook and decided to build one to power his family's home. Using found materials and scrap yard parts such as a broken bicycle, tractor fan, melted plastic pipes, bamboo and used copper wires, he built a series of windmills which would change his and his family's life. A visit to America reinforces his dreams to complete his education and bring power to his country. He is now attending school in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is his story."
