More often than not, I take most things in my life for granted. Things as simple as a roof over my head, the education that’s been PROVIDED to me without even asking for it…Today I stumbled upon the story of William Kamkwamba of Malawi.  After being caught for sneaking in to classes at the technical institute near his home because he couldn’t afford the tuition, he was barred from the school. During that time he gained access to books on energy and windmills…He improved the lives of the people of his community by making a windmill for his home and then town, all from looking at a picture of one in a book.

Makes me wonder, what if people like William, had they had been given the same opportunities that I’ve been blessed with in my life, might possibly be the Edisons, the Alexander Flemings…the innovators of our generation that change the way we live; at a younger age than any of their predecessors. Imagine the things these people could achieve…

I am spoiled…Hunger is more than a feeling in your stomach…that’s about all I have to say…
