William Kamkwamba: How I harnessed the wind


Added February 6, 2012 by Wataru Narita

Two years on from his first TED appearance, William Kamkwamba made another speech in TED2009. Here he gave his personal account on his childhood, the famine in his country, and how he came to build a windmill. His widely acclaimed 2007 speech brought him a scholarship and he was studying at Dartmouth College when he made this speech. His voice and expressions shows that he is making the most of this new opportunity.
