Clockwise from top left: 2018, 2015, 2024 and 2014. year’s community read selection, “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer. Set in drought-stricken Malawi in Africa, this inspiring true story follows a young boy who, despite incredible obstacles, used his ingenuity to bring electricity and water to his village. Through his determination and resourcefulness, William Kamkwamba harnessed the power of wind energy to create life-changing solutions for his community. We are proud to partner this year with Bread of Life, a vital food security organization that provides over 1.5 million pounds of free food annually to families, individuals, youths and seniors in the metro-Boston north area. At this kickoff event, local groups will showcase how they’re using resources to foster sustainability and innovation within our community. These efforts align with the themes of “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind,” including water conservation, gardening for food security, and teaching science to the next generation. The kickoff event will also include live music, poetry, a variety of refreshments and a short, engaging presentation. Malden Reads invites you to join us in this shared reading journey and opening event, reflecting on William Kamkwamba’s story and its relevance to our own lives. Together, we’ll explore ways to bring positive change to Malden and beyond, supporting both human and environmental well-being. Registration through Eventbrite (https:// www.eventbrite.com/), where you will also find more details about the event, is encouraged.
