The magic that runs through the veins of Malawi pulses like a drum. And the wind that whispers the village's stories and whips over the land holds an unbound strength. A secret strength no one can see, save one young boy: William Kamkwamba.
What can you make out of some tree parts, a broken bicycle, and recycling scraps?♻️ Well, today's episode centers around a brilliant man who used those same pieces to create electricity in his village!
