Chapter 14 Summary

The library at the primary school is hosting a number of officials who are touring Malawi. They see the windmill and when they learn about William and his journey to build it, they contact Dr. Mchazime. Mchazime works with the Malawi Teacher Training Activity, and after he inspects the windmill, he arranges some publicity for it and for William. During interviews, William refers to his windmill as electric wind.

Soyapi Mumba, a man who works with TED, selects William to attend a conference about innovation. William will have to travel by airplane and stay in a hotel, both experiences that are new to him. While William is preparing to go to the TED conference, Dr. Mchazime works on getting William back into school. He enrolls him in a boarding school nearby. When William starts school, he is both homesick and far behind his fellow students. Many of them tease him about this, but once he shows them the interviews about his windmill, they stop.

When William boards the plane to travel to the TED conference, he is delighted to be seated next to Soyapi Mumba.
