Cause for Optimism

This article from www.good.is is about William Kamkwamba, a young man who as a 14-year old built a working windmill in his rural village in order to provide electricity for his family. It’s a great story with a happy ending, and an example of the awe-inspiring ingenuity that you often come across in places where things taken for granted in the US (turning on a light with the flick of a switch) are still precious and desperately longed-for.
