An Inspiring Teenager (and an Idea for the Christmas Holidays?)

By Thewritefuture @thewritefuture

My sister sent me the link of the story of this amazing boy Kelvin from Sierra Leone. He lives in a remote village with hardly any electricity. Kelvins tries to help to move his village forward to a better future. He achieves this by creating electric devices such as batteries and generators by ensembling old bits and pieces that he finds in the dustbin. His next project is to build a wind turbine! From scratch recycling litter! A truly inspiring boy!

And as an inspired mum, I am going to encourage my kids in the Christmas Holidays to ensemble an Ipod from the mess in their room! (and there is so much that I think we can take orders!)
