This is Richard Turere's own story: Richard grew up in Kenya as a
Maasai boy, herding his family's cattle, which represented their
wealth and livelihood. Richard's challenge was to protect their
cattle from the lions who prowled the night just outside the
barrier of acacia branches that surrounded the farm's boma or
stockade. Though not well-educated, 12-year-old Richard loved
tinkering with electronics. Using salvaged components, spending
$10, he surrounded the boma with blinking lights, and the system
works; it keeps lions away. His invention, Lion Lights, is now used
in Africa, Asia and South America to protect farm animals from
predators.
