Wandila Simon

He believes that it is a fight for all not leaving man or woman, boy or girl behind to promote equal and quality education for all. There is enough potential in every person’s mind that if accurately applied in collectively, we would create a better tomorrow and make this World a better place to live in. When this grace penetrates and conquers the inner World from which intelligence spring, it appears in its full power. This power of grace can act as a bridge for people from all walks of life to cross from poverty to self-sustainability and self-reliance. Labour in its crudest form is the only available resource that the poor have, and adding value to it would be the only way out of poverty .The worst form of poverty is lack of access to information. With access to information an individual and the community are on the right path in the struggle for equality in human rights, and equal and quality education. ICTs play a vital role as a catalyst in the attainment of this goal.

 “I would rather act on my feelings than reflect on my feelings. I have no riches to give to the World, Yet I pledge to dedicate my Life , my time , my skills, my knowledge, all that I have , all that Iam and all that I do. I wish to unite my life , my hands , my knowledge with all to make  this World  an equal and  better place to live in , making a better and equal tomorrow.” Wandila Simon Kamukwape
