William Kamkwamba is a Malawian inventor, author and student. After being forced to drop out of school because his family could not afford tuition, he used a description in a library book to build a windmill using parts from a local scrapyard. Since then, he has built a solar-powered water pump that supplies the first drinking water in his village. Book signing and reception to follow the lecture.
