funding to do what? to generate more village electricity? when i was in primary school, i read some books and made biogas and electricity from a pit latrine. also made turpentine from waste plastic. other kids i knew also did stuff like that - and even more. and we were not geniuses or anything - that i believe is something kids do all over the world growing up. some wazuans are too easily impressed or had unimaginative childhood.
