I believe William Kamkwamba is a hero to his family and Masitala Village. He is a hero because he overcame a huge challenge in an unexpected way.

In a recent Snopes article, William Kamkwamba, a young Malawian teenage drop out builds power efficient windmills for the sake of his family’s livelihood. Using the old textbooks from his local library and his determination William’s windmills provided electricity and running water for his house.

At 62ft it has the tallest cinema in the world. Glasgow boasts beautiful museums and gorgeous parks, highly regarded universities and a sparkling retail environment. It is the home of two internationally renowned football teams. Many would regard Glasgow’s greatest and memorable asset as being a city of warm and welcoming people, generous to a fault.

Instead of English and Spanish being the universal global languages spoken by so many, German may have been the required language and Nazi policies may have been the required political views. All of that could have happened if the Allied powers didn’t manage to halt Nazi Germany and Axis powers assault on the world. When all was lost for the Allied powers, an unlikely hero stepped up to end Nazi rule. Winston Churchill, a veteran of war and a conservative politician, succeeded Neville Chamberlain when the going got too tough for him. With the impending Battle of Britain, Nazi Germany’s last battle until world domination, Churchill had to use his charisma, his previous wartime experiences and wartime knowledge, and his plan to form a “Great

David Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and was said to be one of the best European explorers of Africa. Livingstone was born March 19, 1813 and at the young age of 23 began studying medicine and theology so that he could fulfill his original life goal of becoming a medical missionary in China.

After living in Africa for four years he then decided to continue his life there and he married Mary Moffat. Mary, who also loved life in Africa, was a missionary’s daughter. David and Mary lived the rest of their lives in Africa, with the exception of two furlough years spent in England.

This choice was made after the coup try of Omar Meheshi. This drove Gaddafi to believe that the army portrayed the biggest intimidation to his power, so he discontinued it under the name of an “Armed People” as a possible choice, where the civilians were taught to use weapons. This initiative stayed under the discipline and subjection of the administration, and the caretaking of supporters from citizen soldiers and private security forces led by his sons or representatives of his tribe, at the cost of the country’s original army. By this the army completely changed, as foreseen by Ibn Khaldun, to secret warriors and citizen soldiers named the “People’s Leaders”, which had the authority to watch and care for neighbourhoods in the cities. Gaddafi’s structure of governance made sure his power and the dominance of his tribe, radically hurt the State. For most of the Gaddafi time, the State was portrayed by its
