The free event will celebrate this 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 soluefforts that align with this year’s book selection. Kalfou, with members of Zili Misik, will perform music from the African diaspora. Kalfou always brings infectious energy and community spirit to her performances. 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.
