I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge(边缘) of Nairobi National Park of Kenya(肯尼亚). Since the age of nine. I have helped to look after my family’s cows. As a child, in my free time.

I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronic toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices(仪器) for my neighbors.

At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community.

They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they’ll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here!
