UPDATE 5/10: Hi everyone! I'm sorry to report that we're going to have to postpone this Global Read discussion. We hope that you've enjoyed reading "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and we encourage you to check back in the fall when we will offer this opportunity for discussion again!
Primary Source (http://www.primarysource.org/) is very pleased to announce that our next Global Read will take place this Thursday, May 12th, when we'll discuss The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer. Primary Source will facilitate a FREE "live" web-based discussion with Bryan Mealer.
"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
