Now he’s powering up an innovation center for Malawi’s youth." - **Call to lead <https://calltolead.dartmouth.edu/stories/difference-between-idea-and-opportunity-space-work-and-mentor-help>* The inventor William Kakwumba had to drop out of school during famine, but he ended up persisting, seeking out books from a local library and inventing a windmill to provide power for his village in Malawi. He went on to attend university abroad and inspire inventors around the world by creating innovation centers for underprivileged youth. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
