72-year-old Samaila Adamu is repairing this faulty generator using very unique tools.
72岁的Samaila Adamu正在用非常独特的工具修理这台有故障的发电机。
After losing his vision 26 years ago, Adamu learned to spot motorized faults through sound and touch.

When people bring generators for repairs, I touched the parts and feel them, then I know what's wrong with them.

Adamu makes less than five dollars on every generator repair, nearly enough to provide for his three wives and 19 children. But he says it keeps him from begging on the streets.
