Inspirational story about a young man from Sierra Leone who is setting MIT alight!

I was pointed to this story by @hojomo after he’d RT’d one of my blogs… funny how you find things in 2014!

15-Year-Old Kelvin Doe is an engineering whiz living in Sierra Leone who scours the trash bins for spare parts, which he uses to build batteries, generators and transmitters. Completely self-taught, Kelvin has created his own radio station where he broadcasts news and plays music under the moniker, DJ Focus.
