Somalis show their support to young inventor via social media

Somalis have taken to social media such as Facebook and twitter in support of Guled Adan Abdi, from the northern town of Buhodle.

The ambitious inventor who wants to be car producer in Somalia makes plastic toys from bits of discarded objects, and then worked out how to motorise them by studying real cars.

While his mother struggles to support the family by selling anjeera – Somali pancakes young Guled is busy through inventions to fulfill his dream.

Battery powered toy maker was invited by Puntland regional state President who promised to support his education and innovations techniques.

Somali nationals have called upon the government and other well wishers to support Guled in fulfilling his ambitious dream.

Salaam @IStandWithAhmed, meet your other inventor brother who could be you but lacks your lucky. Pls support him https://t.co/GDvIaTY0fW
