We would like to tell you a bit more about each of our interns, their lives and what they do at Tikondane. So, this month we are going to feature two of our best and brightest, typical of the people who are the glue that holds Tiko together….
First up, please meet Weston Phiri:
Weston is 37 years old and married with one daughter (four years old). His wife lives in Chadiza (a little over an hour away) with her family, where she goes to school. Weston has finished building a house in the nearest compound to Tikondane. His daughter is already here, going to preschool. His wife will join both of them at the end of the school year.
His training gives Weston the chance to become an extension officer with the Department of Agriculture. Should that happen, he would try very hard to be stationed in Katete and get a chance to carry the Tikondane agriculture messages further afield.
Next, please meet Edith Thole:
Edith is 30 years of age. She is separated with two children, aged 7 and 2. She has 3 dependents, aged 27, 22 and l9, with the two younger ones still going to school.
Edith has a great interest in store keeping and has almost finished an overseas course on Purchasing and Supply. She recently had to take over the top job, as our Isaac Kazembe fell ill and sadly is no longer mobile.
Over the next few months we will feature more of Tikondane’s exceptional interns…stay tuned….
