As this foreign affairs discussion group is almost always in an argument about something, I thought I'd post a foreign affair that I hope most will agree is worthy of applause: William Kamkwamba's Windmill: williamkamkwamba.typepad.com A high school drop-out, it turns out William is actually a genius and he built his own windmill to generate electricity. Inspiring, heart-warming story, I think. A few people I know skipped their daily mocha/latte/coffee/tea fix and put a couple of bucks in his paypal account. (I believe someone in the US set up and maintains his blog.) I hadn't checked back in a couple of days, but I see now that the Sydney Morning Herald has picked up the story as well as an Italian newspaper, La Republica. Definitely worth a look and worth spending a few moments reflecting on. (If this has been mentioned here before, apologies for the repeat.)
