The Future of Africa, Hopefully!

This kid is amazing, and God Bless MIT for hosting him. This is what the world needs. Kelvin, you're an inspiration!

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.

Kelvin became the youngest person in history to be invited to the “Visiting Practitioner’s Program” at MIT. THNKR had exclusive access to Kelvin and his life-changing journey – experiencing the US for the first time, exploring incredible opportunities, contending with homesickness, and mapping out his future.

Can we focus on the subject of the video? A truly remarkable kid, who will make a difference. We need to encourage more of this.

what fucking idiots you are...

Just watch the video. It's a good one.
