That young man had a vision. He is a bright light in the world. Thank you, Anne. I read the headlines on the news sites and feel down about the state of the world, but this story is one which generates hope that we will find our way out of a mess of our own making.

It's uplifting, isn't it? And it looks as though William is likely not destined to be nothing more than a subsistence farmer.

I wonder how many bright minds like that have been wasted simply because they have limited access to information and no materials to work with?

I guess that's more a rhetorical question than anything. Because we can guess that the answer is, 'too many'.

He's also proven Edison right, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

They couldn't find $80 dollars to send him to school. That is the part I found the hardest.
I can't help but wonder how many brilliant minds in the third world countries are lost for the want of what is little more than what we would pay to fill our gas tank once.

Thank you once again Anne.

Steve.

We can only hope that this degree of exposure will come to benefit this young man.
$80.00? I just signed for dinner. $72.00 at 'Outback'.
Funny how values are viewed from different perspectives.
I wish him all the luck he deserves.


I would like to see some close-ups of how he used a bicycle to generate electricity :)

He's in school now, he's on his way.

He'll make a good engineer me thinks.

All the knowledge in the world is available free in libraries or the internet, you just have to figure it out yourself.
