William's Windmill

So get this, a teenage boy in Malawi lived through severe droughts in 2002 that killed thousands of people and almost caused his family to starve. But during the drought he continued to read books. While he was reading he found a text book about windmills and discovered he could use a windmill to get power which meant running water and lighting. He spent a lot of his nights and days going through rubbish and building the windmill. When he finally made it his neighbours were amazed how it could power light and running water.

I think that William was very brave building it even though his neighbours called him crazy.

I found this info on Kiwi Kids News      

How long did it take to build the windmill?
