Podcast appearances and mentions of William Kamkwamba

En el año 2001, William Kamkwamba, un adolescente de 14 años en Malaui, vio a su comunidad enfrentar una severa sequía. Sin poder asistir a la escuela por falta de dinero, decidió educarse por sí mismo en la biblioteca local. Usando piezas recicladas y materiales de desecho, construyó un molino de viento que proveyó energía a su aldea. Su decisión temprana y valiente transformó su comunidad y luego inspiró a todo el mundo.Así como William actuó con convicción a una edad temprana, también la Biblia nos muestra que Dios honra las decisiones firmes desde la juventud. Josías fue rey a los ocho años e instituyó reformas espirituales. Samuel sirvió en el templo desde niño. Por consiguiente, nunca es demasiado temprano para responder al llamado de Dios.No esperes a tener todos los recursos o a estar "preparado" para obedecer a Dios. Él usa lo que tienes hoy. De modo que, si estás ante una decisión importante, no subestimes el impacto que pueden tener los jóvenes. Dios honra la obediencia desde temprano y multiplica sus frutos. Tu decisión de hoy puede cambiar el destino de muchos mañana. La Biblia dice en Eclesiastés 12:1: “Acuérdate de tu Creador en los días de tu juventud” (RV1960).

Send us a textReady to transform your teaching with multicultural resources that actually reflect all your students? You've just found exactly what you've been searching for.Representation isn't just a buzzword—it's a critical component of effective teaching. When students see themselves in learning materials, they engage more deeply, connect more meaningfully, and ultimately achieve more academically. Yet finding high-quality, standards-aligned resources that authentically celebrate diversity remains challenging for even the most dedicated educators.That's precisely why I've created over 70 culturally responsive lesson plans that take the guesswork out of inclusive teaching. From "Your Name is a Song," which helps students explore the beauty and significance of diverse names, to "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind," which incorporates engineering concepts through William Kamkwamba's inspiring story, these resources seamlessly integrate cultural awareness with academic rigor. The "Cinderella Around the World" unit introduces students to various cultural versions of the classic tale, enhancing critical thinking while exploring both universal themes and unique cultural perspectives.Shop Lesson Plans in this episode:1) Your Name Is A Song Lesson Plan:  https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/your-name-is-a-song-lesson-plan-4/2) I Am Enough Lesson Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/i-am-enough-lesson-plan-3/3) The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind Lesson Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/the-boy-who-harnessed-the-wind-lesson-plan-2/4) Cinderella Stories From Around The World Unit Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/cinderella-stories-from-around-the-world-unit-plan/Sign Up for Our Inclusive Educator Newsletter to get a coupon code for all lesson plans only for our subscribers: https://tremendous-motivator-3920.kit.com/a46bfbcba3 COME SAY Hey!!

Authors Rachel Abbott and Hannah Lynn go head to head in a war of the words. They talk to Joe Haddow about their self-publishing journeys, the pros and cons and how things have changed on that side of the industry over the last 10 years. They also discuss their new novels, how the weather can influence a chapter and why sometimes you just have to go away in the name of research!

In this latest installment of Open Your Eyes, McKay examines the powerful impact of the narratives we create and how they shape our lives. By sharing compelling stories of individuals who overcame immense challenges, the episode emphasizes the importance of consciously crafting life stories that inspire growth and change.McKay begins with Japan's historical rise as a world power, leading to the story of Hiroo Onoda, a soldier who remained committed to his mission for decades after World War II, believing the war had not ended. He then shifts to the inspiring life of Jessica Cox, born without arms, who defied the odds to become the world's first armless pilot. The narrative continues with William Kamkwamba, whose determination to harness wind energy transformed his village in Malawi. McKay also reflects on Alice Sommer, a Holocaust survivor who found solace in music, and Mother Teresa, who, despite deep spiritual struggles, remained dedicated to her mission. These stories, along with McKay's personal anecdotes about his daughter illustrate how the narratives we embrace can either limit us or empower us to achieve greatness.Main Themes:The influence of narratives on personal and collective identityThe historical significance of Japan's expansion leading to World War IIHiroo Onoda's story of unwavering belief in his mission, long after the war endedJessica Cox's determination to overcome physical limitations and redefine what is possibleWilliam Kamkwamba's innovative spirit that brought hope to his village through wind energyThe inspiring stories of Alice Sommer and Mother TeresaThe role of education and persistence in transforming one's life and community.The importance of consciously crafting and revising our life stories to align with our true potential.Key Quotes:"The stories we tell ourselves, the deep-seated beliefs we all hold, shape our reality in ways that go beyond what seems rational.""Hiroo Onoda continued his mission for 30 years, driven by a narrative he believed was true.""Jessica Cox didn't let her physical limitations define her, choosing instead to rewrite her life story.""William Kamkwamba's narrative of education and belief transformed not just his life, but his entire community.""Our job as parents is to give our children the experiences to write their own narratives.""Music saved Alice Sommer's life, providing a narrative of beauty and positivity amidst the horrors of a concentration camp.""Even in the face of spiritual darkness, Mother Teresa crafted a narrative of unwavering commitment to her mission.""Reflecting on your life story can help you open your eyes to your true potential."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Lesen, probieren, ernten. William Kamkwamba erzählt zusammen mit Bryan Mealer in dem Buch 'Der Junge, der den Wind einfing' seine einzigartige Geschichte. Er kommt aus der Armut. Er durchlebt die schreckliche Hungerkrise 2000 in Malawi. Anschließend kann er nicht zur Schule gehen, weil seinen Eltern das Geld dafür fehlt. Was machte er also? Den Kopf in den Sand stecken? Ganz sicher nicht. Er bringt sich selber alles über Elektrotechnik bei und baut mit viel Gegenwind, Fleiß und Anstrengung ein Windrad für seine Familie. Dieses sollte sein Leben verändern.

Opnieuw een aflevering met dubbele verhalen! James Harrison, de Man met de Gouden Arm. Er was iets zo ongelooflijk uniek aan hem, dat het een blijvende impact heeft gehad op de gezondheid van miljoenen mensen. En William Kamkwamba, een jonge Malawinees die hoop en potentie zag in zelfs de allermoeilijkste omstandigheden.

We're back! For this week's episode, we have one of Sanika's close childhood friends, Sandhya, as our special guest! This week we discussed the law of attraction and it's power in our everyday lives. We also touch on whether the law of attraction could be applied to whole societies for larger issues and the effect what we call "negative manifestation." The movie Sanika mentioned at the end is called The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, and it relays the story of William Kamkwamba, who built a wind turbine to save his Malawian village from famine. It's a really inspiring movie, and we would definitely suggest watching it. Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode! Be sure to follow us on our social media and listen to us on our other platforms again at: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast. See y'all again next week and remember to register to vote for the primaries!

Based on a true story, Netflix is attempting to bring the viewer a raw, touching tale of perseverance and hope. Do they deliver or does this adaptation of William Kamkwamba's real-life story fail? Is it worth all of the subtitles to sit with your kid(s) and watch this movie? As always, we let you know what to expect and whether we recommend taking the time.

Publishers Summary; As a young boy, William Kamkwamba read about windmills and dreamed of building one that would bring electricity and water to his village in Malawi, a country withered by drought and hunger. In 2002, when his country was stricken with a famine, William's family's farm was devastated and his parents were left destitute.   Review contains spoilers.

"Eu sou eu e minhas circunstâncias, se não as salvo, não salvo a mim mesmo". Baseados nessa profunda sentença de Ortega y Gasset, Jota Borgonhoni e Francisco Escorsim comentam o filme "O Menino que Descobriu o Vento". Pois se vamos falar sobre salvar as circunstâncias e descobrir a potência de transformação do eu, não há história melhor que de William Kamkwamba: o menino que enfrentou dificuldades, e até a própria família, e criou um moinho de vento, salvando a si mesmo e toda sua aldeia.

Estreia do astro Chiwetel Ejiofor como diretor foi em “O menino que descobriu o vento”, lançado no início deste ano e que narra a história real do engenheiro William Kamkwamba. Aos 14 anos, Kamkwamba estudou e descobriu sozinho como gerar energia eólica para que sua família e toda a aldeia em que vivia não morresse de fome na África. Kamkwamba fará a palestra de abertura do How To Innovate 2019, evento que vai propor uma reflexão de forma integrada sobre inovação, transformação digital e impacto social. O embaixador André Bello conversou nesta segunda-feira (15) com a bancada do Morning Show sobre as expectativas do primeiro evento do gênero no país.

Myndlistarkonan Anna Margrét Ólafsdóttir klæddist Mjallhvítarbúningi í 100 daga en gjörningurinn er hluti af útskriftarverki hennar úr Listaháskóla Íslands.

I will be talking about Food Empires, a society's system of feeding itself. I got my information from "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer, "Empires of Food: Feast, Famine, and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations" by Evan D. G. Fraser and Andrew Rimas, and "Marlow's Hierarchy of Needs" by Saul McLeod.

Enchanted by electricity as a boy, William Kamkwamba wanted to study science in Malawi's top boarding schools. But in 2002, his country was stricken with a famine that devastated his family's farm and left his parents destitute. Unable to pay the eighty-dollar-a-year tuition for his education, William was forced to drop out and help his family forage for food as thousands across the country starved and died. But William refused to let go of his dreams. He embarked on a daring plan to bring his family a set of luxuries that only two percent of Malawians could afford--electricity and running water.

Government--a group of people claiming immunity from simple moral judgment (don't hit people and don't take their stuff) Why don't we have a system in which people and their property are respected consistently and universally? Objective law entails honoring individual rights Ideas rule the world, not guns and jail cells The idea of government gives "legitimacy" to rights-violations Market monopolies are fundamentally different than coercive monopolies The Question of Monopolies by Nathaniel Branden http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/articles_essays/question_of_monopolies.html (also in http://www.amazon.com/Capitalism-Ideal-Ayn-Rand/dp/0451147952 ) Coercive monopolies exist in regulated economies like today's Local utilities are a prime example of coercive monopolies People tend to project their fears of others onto property owners, ignoring their present enslavement by statism HOA's don't exactly uphold freedom principles Surrendering one's autonomy is part and parcel of statism Enforcing irrational, immoral, and unjust laws is the supposed "job" of "police officers" Governmental laws are basically the nonsensical scribblings of control-freak mentalities Teen’s DIY Energy Hacking Gives African Village New Hope by Kim Zetter http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/10/kamwamba-windmill/ Governmental "aid" (i.e., expropriated tax dollars) fosters dependence and perpetuates human suffering Morality entails the virtue of independence, not dependence Freedom—An Ethical Issue - http://www.logicallearning.net/libfreedomethica.html Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa by Dambisa Moyo http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Aid-Working-Better-Africa/dp/0374139563/ Dambisa Moyo, Author Of Dead Aid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBH47mByATc Dambisa Moyo discusses Dead Aid with an MP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Pkk2sq9Cg Mysticism crowds out rationality, and when mysticism creeps into daily affairs, it can be deadly Superstitions are rampant in tribes, where conformity to the group and mystical "causality" reigns The Early Human Condition - http://www.logicallearning.net/libearlyhumancon.html Creators are not selfless; each creator lives for his or her own sake A mystical metaphysics inverts the nature of reality and logical causality A solid, objective, metaphysics leads to understanding reality correctly and respecting others achievements Identity And Causality, And The Use Of Logic - http://www.logicallearning.net/libidentitycausa.html Female genital mutilation is one horrible outcome of the tribal mentality and superstitious beliefs http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_cutting William Kamkwamba on building a windmill http://www.ted.com/talks/william_kamkwamba_on_building_a_windmill.html Michael Pritchard's water filter turns filthy water drinkable http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_pritchard_invents_a_water_filter.html How much more generous and charitable would people be if taxation (and government itself) didn't exist?
