Kelvin Doe – A Young Engineer
By Dr. Sally Gonzalez, Professor, International University of Science

What do a DJ, batteries, and a teenage boy have in common? Kelvin Doe has all of these components in his life. From a small village in the Republic of Sierra Leone in West Africa, this teen changed the lives of the people in his community by his innovative approach to life.

Kelvin Gets His Start

Most teens could not imagine going to bed at 7 p.m. every night, but Kelvin would. Then, in the middle of the night, he would wake up to transform his living room. It was a “small electronics scrapyard,” as Kelvin explained. Kelvin was always very interested in technology and inventions, but he lived very poorly. His community did not have modern technology. This did not stop Kelvin. He scrounged through scrapyards and dumps looking for basic components to make his inventions work.

The Beginning of Change

There was always an important piece missing for his inventions. He needed batteries to power his homemade devices. Kelvin did not have the benefit of a science education at school. Yet, he figured out how to make a battery using soda, metal, and tape. These are ingredients he found at a neighborhood dump! With this battery, the possibilities for his inventions were endless.

Community Changes

Once he had perfected the battery, he began to think of ways to improve the lives of the people in his community. One day a week, the government electricity would turn on in the village. The villagers had electricity to power up devices and use their simple light bulb only four times a month. The rest of the month, they were in the dark. Kelvin decided to make a bigger battery. He made a generator to power the homes in the village. Now, they only have to turn on the generators to enjoy the benefits of electric power.

DJ Focus

Along with inventing, Kelvin Doe likes to listen to the latest music. His village, though, did not get dependable radio transmission. So, Kelvin melded his love of music and his interest in engineering. He built his own radio station. His teen friends work as reporters and station managers. He now goes by the moniker “DJ Focus.” “I picked this name because if you focus, you can invent anything,” explains Kelvin.

His Future Looks Bright

Helen Grey
By Christina Georgina Rossetti
Because one loves you, Helen Grey,
Is that a reason you should pout,
And like a March wind veer about,
And frown, and say your shrewish say?
Don't strain the cord until it snaps,
Don't split the sound heart with your wedge,
Don't cut your fingers with the edge
of your keen wit, you may, perhaps.
Because you're handsome, Helen Grey,
Is that a reason to be proud?
Your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud,
Your steps go mincing on their way;
But so you miss that modest charm
which is the surest charm of all:
Take heed, you yer may trip and fall,
And no man care to stretch his arm
Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey,
Come down, and take a lowlier place;
Come down, to fill it now with grace;
Come down you must perforce some day:
For years cannot be kept at bay.
And fading years will make you old,
Then in their turn will men seem cold,
When you yourself are nipped and grey
