Malawi windmill boy with big fans By Jude Sheerin, BBC Defense against hunger The teenager had a dream of bringing electricity and running water to his village. And he was not prepared to wait for politicians or aid groups to do it for him. The need for action was even greater in 2002 following one of Malawi's worst droughts (droughts: time with no rain, when nothing can grow), which killed thousands of people and left his family on the brink of starvation. Unable to attend school, he kept up his education by using a local library. Fascinated by science, his life changed one day when he picked up a tattered (tattered: old and torn) textbook and saw a picture of a windmill. Mr. Kamkwamba told the BBC News website: "I was very interested when I saw the windmill could make electricity and pump water. "I thought: 'That could be a defense against hunger. Maybe I should build one for myself'." When not helping his family farm maize, he plugged away (plugged away: worked hard) at his prototype (prototype: model or original design), working by the light of a paraffin lamp in the evenings. But his ingenious (ingenious: inventive, clever) project met blank looks in his community of about 200 people. "Many, including my mother, thought I was going crazy," he recalls. "They had never seen a windmill before." Which sentence from the text describes the problem that William and his family faced?
