Such an amazing story about 13-year-old Kenyan Richard Turere…and he was able to tell his story at a TED2013 talk last month!
Richard used his knowledge about lions and added a small light and solar panel to create a lion deterrent, saving not only the local livestock, but people’s spirits too.It’s no coincidence that the theme of TED2013 was The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered. Read more about Richard & watch his presentation at TED2013.
