Moved to Canada with her husband Gerry Warner.

She is a Registered Nutritionist currently working in healthcare sector.
Growing up in a village, walking many kilomenters and drawing water on our heads when going back from school is an everyday life for many children in Rural Zambia. Teaching in the remote areas awakened me to do something to help out.
Many of the girl child do not finish school due to finances, abuse, early marriages, being a soul winner for the orphans left behind. The burden become big and big. The cycle of poverty continues. Support to remaining children if not educated or without literacy is not easy for Orphans to seek education with a lot of barriers aheard of them, instead, they resort to going in the streets where they can get help by begging money from tourists or rondom people who may exploit them and take their pictures and HIV/AIDs continues. Therefore help Buya Village to reach to every child through Skills Development Trainings. |
