Olly Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I saw this story yesterday on the BBC website. It's about a young African man who's transformed his community by building windmills. It's great to hear such a positive story, and I feel slightly ashamed that this man with only a few years of formal education managed to build these out of stuff that would be sent to landfill in this country, or any other Western country come to that. Just wanted to share this with you, to counteract some of the doom and gloom stories we seem to be have so much of at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
