The people of William Kamkwamba’s village in Malawi, Africa were experiencing a devastating famine. Kamkwamba, 14 years old at the time, was forced to drop out of school because his family could no longer afford to pay for his education. “No money, I said. Today I dropped.” (page133) Kamkwamba’s father doesn't have money to pay tuition of Kamkwamba. Another reason is about the famine. There were droughts and floods, but in the end, most of the problems were caused by the Malawian people themselves. The decision to pay off international debt in the form of the country’s stockpile of maize, deforestation, and the election of a business-oriented president were all major reasons for the famine.
Kamkwamba Likes a good engineer, he began to research and look for creative solutions. Kamkwamba’s passion for science and math led him to the local library, where he taught himself physics from textbooks. Kamkwamba even learned a new language as he went along, as the books were all in English. He was so inspired by the pictures of a windmill he saw in a book about renewable energy that he became determined to build one himself. He scavenged for spare parts at a local junkyard, ultimately coming up with materials like bicycle wheels, PVC pipe and a tractor propeller. After two months of hard work and resourceful thinking, he was able to transform these odds and ends into an electricity-generating windmill. The windmill successfully powered several lamps in his family home and later could charge cell phones as well. “Even had mobile phones on a table. You could pay to make calls, kind of like an open-air booth.” (Page 210) Kamkwamba’s innovation from scraps of metal and various other parts scavenged from a junk yard created a relief for many who lined up outside his home to get their phones charged once they had heard of the windmill’s capabilities. Contacting others in the outside world became easy for Kasungu’s inhabitants. Exchange of information, current news, and ideas further progressed the MDGs by creating awareness of Malawi’s problems and its people’s concerns for the future. However, Kamkwamba would to create a windmill, and get some helpful, and solve his family prolems.
In my problem, my parents support me and my brother to go college, and pay our payment. My parents are very hard to work every day, and give money to support us. My father is a builder, and my mother is a waiter. They work more than 8 hour each day. I need hard work to final my college degree and get a great job to less my parents’ stress.
In my solution, writing, speaking, and communicating will all contribute to obtaining my goals. These skills will all influence my schoolwork. Using these skills I will get the 3.0 GPA I need to make it through this school and graduate in four years with a systems degree. Communication is going to be the biggest skill that I will have to use to make my 3.0 GPA. I am going to have to communicate with teachers and classmates because I believe no one makes it through this school without help. To graduate from UMASS in next two years is my first goal. Writing, speaking and communicating are all going to help me reach my goal of graduating. I will have to write the best papers I have ever written. In addition I will have to give the best presentations I have ever given. Finally I will have to communicate with teachers, students and people from outside the academy to make it through here. Raising my social class is going to be the hardest goal I am going to try to accomplish. Achieving that goal will depend on whether I accomplish the other two goals that I have set for myself. Superior communication with companies outside of the academy will be key to getting a job that is going to fit my goal of making tons of money.
In conclusion, Kamkwamba and I had to face all things that solve all problems. I think I need harder working to success my degree. Kamkwamba use his interesting to create a windmill, and solve his family problems. Kamkwamba and I are more like our family, and would give their happy future.
