I am so impressed with these two young men!
We visited Blantyre, Malawi last year, and saw the need.
I feel excited that our new friends there may find more

I was very moved when I heard about the existence of another East African called Peter who, like William, has built a windmill out of scrap and constructed several pieces of machinery which he runs on the electricity he generates. I was so inspired by both stories that I published an article and a photo story about it:
