"I looked at my father and looked at those dry
fields; it was a future I could not accept. I was determined to do
everything possible to receive an education. A book put knowledge
in my hands. It said, 'windmill could pump water and generate
electricity'. Pumping water meant irrigation, a defence against
hunger. So I decided to build a windmill. Many people, including
my mother, said I was crazy".
"I'd like to say something to all the people out there like me,
to Africans and the poor who are struggling with your dreams,
maybe one day you will watch this on the Internet. I say to you,
trust yourself and believe, whatever happens, don't give up". |
