Wonderful story. His face when doing all the "regular" American stuff was priceless.
I have nothing but hope for this guy in all his future endeavors.
THis dude had nothing, hanging out in rural Africa and came up with this idea.
He literally made something from nothing...American kids don't realize this.

Yeah, saw this on TED a while back. Definitely proves that in the midst of adversity, you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. To bad many of ourpeers in this country will never know anything of that sort though...
