Amazing for two reasons. Firstly, Richard Turere, a young Maasai man who lives in the Kenya savanna next to a national park invents a practical way to save his cattle from the lions by applying his love and self study of electronics. He figured out how to fix and make electronics through dismantling several household appliances and invented the “lion lights“ 'a fence made of basic pieces (solar charging cells, flashlight parts), which quickly and effectively scares lions away from his father's cattle. Richard's dream is to be an aircraft engineer.' (description taken from Ted website.) Secondly, he never spoke in front of a crowd before. His natural ability to connect through storytelling and humour is something to be admired.
