EP 02 15 minLaura Dekker, age 14 — Netherlands

Episode 4 · Richard Turere, age 13 — Kitengela, Kenya
Richard Turere was nine when he was handed responsibility for his family's cattle on the edge of Nairobi National Park. Lions were taking up to three cows a week, and herders were killing lions in return. Fire didn't work. A scarecrow didn't work. Then Richard noticed something about a moving flashlight beam — and invented Lion Lights.
