Al Gore describes "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind" (book)

From William Kamkwamba's blog:

May 31, 2009
Al Gore, Nobel Laureate and former US Vice-President's quote about my book.

"THE BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND is the inspiring story of a young man in Africa who used the only resources available to him to build a windmill and elevate the lives and spirits of those in his community. William Kamkwamba's achievements with wind energy should serve as a model of what one person, with an inspired idea, can do to tackle the crisis we face. His book tells a moving and exciting story."

- Al Gore, former Vice President and Nobel Laureate

Thank you so much! I loved An Inconvenient Truth. I showed it to the other students in our Science Club at my school, the African Leadership Academy. My favorite image from the film is when Vice President Gore shows the graphic depicting a scale balancing Gold Bars and THE ENTIRE PLANET. : )
