We are Hillside, for a better tommorow.

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
Girl child please listen. In 2015 when I was working for Times 360 Malawi Times Group I produced a story about a young girl-Zinenani Kakowa-who had passed her MSCE with 8 points and was selected to pursue an MBBS degree (to become a medical doctor for surgery) at the College of Medicine in Blantyre.

Unfortunately the girl was coming from a very poor background and her parents had given up on her dream to pursue further studies. We visited her village in the area of Beula village, T/A Kapichi in Thyolo. Our cameras captured the ambience of poverty from the home that the girl with such sharp brains was coming from.

Stories were narrated how the community relentlessly tried to influence the girl to abandon school and get married as her colleagues had done. We spoke to her former teachers, her parents and relatives capturing testimonies of Zinenani's unwavering spirit towards education.

Fortunately when we published the story, a few people of good will that included some professional women groups responded to assist the girl fulfil her ambition to become a medical doctor.

Today I am proud to narrate this story of resilience and success from a girl that defied all odds including abject poverty to rub shoulders with children from the upper class.Over the past eight years she overcame a barrage of academic pressures to reach the very end of her MBBS studies. At this moment (Dr) Zinenani Kakowa is doing her medical practicals in one of the countries biggest referral hospitals having accomplished her goals.

The picture that I posed with her in 2015 and the rest of the new pictures that shows her current status depicts the two worlds that she has experienced. You and I can only imagine what this girl would have been today if she didn't follow her heart. I have always shared this story with my own children and other people close to me as it motivates me alot.

As schools reopen today, my advice to girls and even boys is that; never back down. Do not look at your current challenges as a barrier rather use it as a stepping stone for success. Education is an equaliser between the rich and the poor. If you take that route and pursue it vigorously, one day it will pay off. Once again salute to (Dr) Zinenani Kakowa for the testimony you have given all of us. The transformation is for all of us to see.
