A 13-year-old boy's passion for making
electronic toys in Somalia has won him
local fame and a free education.
Guled Adan Abdi, from the northern town of Buhodle, taught himself how to make plastic toys from bits of discarded objects, and then worked out how to motorise them by studying real cars.
"I started making toys when I was younger, he said.
"I used to play with them without any motor. But later I said to myself: 'Why don't you make them into a moving machine?'
"So I looked at the cars in the town and invented my toys with the same design."Dressed up in a suit, Guled showed his inventions to Puntland President Abdiweli Mohamed Ali at state house.
President Ali promised that the Puntland government would now fund his education.
But for Guled there is another problem - getting funds to buy new parts for his toys, which he would like to be able to sell.
Eyeing his future, the teenager said his ambitions are not limited to models.
"I would like to gradually learn how to become a producer of cars."
