William Kamkwamba at the 2007 TED Conference

There is now video available of William Kamkwamba's conversation on-stage with TED Curator Chris Anderson at the TED conference held in June in Arusha, Tanzania. As explained in an earlier post, Kamkwamba is a young man who, at the age of 14, built a windmill to power lights and radios in his family's home in a village in Malawi.
