With all the sobering news lately about global warming and war, it’s important to remember all the positive things that are ALSO going on in the world at any given time. Case in point: the story of intrepid Malawi youth William Kamkwamba who, despite having no education or training, recently engineered and built a windmill that powers his entire village. It’s certainly the most inspiring story we’ve read this month, and we think you’ll agree…

Wonderful, kate. It is easy to forgot the good things, for sure.
Reminds me of an elementary school music teacher I had who instructed our choir. She would always stop us and say, "No one will think twice about all of you harmonizing beautifully, but they will hear one wrong note."
There's a lot of harmonizing going on in the world, but we do tend to focus on those sour notes. Good stuff.
