Teacher
I loan because:
I believe with Andre Brink (A Dry White Season) "There are only two kinds of madness one must guard against: One is the belief that we can do everything. The other is the belief that we can do nothing."
Or, as a proverb quoted by Dambisa Moyo in her book, "Dead Aid" puts it: "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
About me:
I teach biology and related subjects to high school students. I also travel to Zambia, every other year, with students from my school. We work with partner schools in Lusaka, mostly on computer skills training.
