COME, I’LL SHOW YOU
THE TALENTED TINKERER COOPER
When Cooper Zwarwolo touches something, electricity flows and it gets loud. Many in the village are still sceptical and think that witchcraft is involved – especially because Cooper was never able to go to school. But that is exactly what spurs the 55-year-old on when he generates electricity from old batteries and a mixture of citrus fruits or when he gradually expands his self-built radio station. And this is something special, indeed: Thanks to Cooper and his team, there is now a radio programme for Tiapa that informs the inhabitants daily about the most important news and provides the village with music. It often gets a bit louder, so that the neighbouring villages can also listen in.
