The 15-Year-Old Designing His Own Future

posted: 6 months ago

Kelvin

Kelvin Doe is a teenage boy from Sierra Leone with an incredibly inspiring story to tell.

Kelvin, aka DJ Focus, spends most of his time trawling through rubbish bins for spare parts that he can turn into electricity generators, batteries or even transmitters for his very own FM radio station, which he created in order to give young people in Sierra Leone a voice. Wondering what his motivation is? He just wants to invent a better future for him, his family and his friends.

This inspirational and uplifting video tells Kelvin's story as he became the youngest person in history to be invited to the "Visiting Practitioner's Program" at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Five of the Best

Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.

  1. Awesome, overnight hair rollers are back! (It's so 1985 all over again.) Only now they're available in different shades to, well, match your hair. Whatever. You'll look great in the morning.
  2. At a loss for Father's Day (16th June)? If he likes Burgers & Beer, Cheese & Ale or Steaks & Wine, then click here.
  3. Summering in England got you down? Relish in these weekend spots. You'll be putting in for a transfer to New York in no time.
  4. If you wish you lived in a luxurious, hip barns like we do, then you'll want to click here to find out about renting one for a self-catering holiday.
  5. We haven't exactly fact-checked this Abercrombie & Fitch slam, but we're certainly open to it (and think you should be, too).
