DESCRIBE YOUR CHILDHOOD/GROWING YEARS
The most memorable things about my childhood were birthdays and holidays. I grew up in a small town called Chamboli in the Copperbelt Province . Each time it was my birthday my father would bring a gift and he would call my friends from the neighborhood to come sing for me around 6am and friends would pour water on me just for fun. During the holidays I would visit mom’s young sister in a town called Kalulushi during my stay in Kalulushi we would go to the farm around 04am to cultivate crops such as maize ,groundnuts, pumpkin and Sweet potatoes. The farm was very far and we would walk when going and when coming back we would sing songs to divert our minds from the long distance. When I turned 12years old my father stopped working I had to move from our house to my beautiful grandmother and grandfather’s house who started taking care of my education till university.
WHAT IS YOUR MEMORABLE MOMENT?
The most memorable moment of my life was when I given an opportunity by my grandparents and Aunties to go to the university and pursue registered nursing . Being the first child in my family to go to university was a dream come true and a rare opportunity for me and I will forever be grateful . After I finished my senior secondary education I started. asking myself questions like how will I enroll into school since both my parents don’t work but my family has been so helpful indeed I always pray that they have a long life for making sure I am in school .I am now in my final year and very excited to complete and save lives.
ANY SPECIAL STORIES OR FACTS ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?

My family has always encouraged me to work hard I must say have pushed me to where I am today . They have taught me how to be humble , how to love and care for others because is the most important things to them . There’s never a day that I will cry to my family and won’t get help i I am so grateful for the teachings which I will never depart from .Life is everything with a supportive family.

WHAT TIPS CAN YOU SHARE TO PROMOTE ECOTOURISM & CLIMATE CHANGE?
Promoting ecotourism and addressing climate changes are crucial steps towards achieving a sustainable future. The tip I would give is raising awareness , awareness is vital in promoting ecotourism and climate change it is important to inform stakeholders, tourists and local communities benefits of ecotourism . The second one is engaging local communities in training opportunities and promoting their cultural heritage. The third one is doing away with car carbon emissions which pollutes the air and cause climate change .This can be done by making car user responsible with by charging them this will encourage motorist to start serving there car and save the environment.
WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY?
One thing I am so proud of as a Zambian is the abundance peace, love and unity we have as Zambians. Zambians are peaceful and friendly by nature. It is so inspiring to note that a nation made of 13million people , 72 ethic tribe and 10 provinces has indeed achieved this fate. We have a motto One Zambia One Nation this means that it does not matter what race you are as long as you are in Zambia we will treat you like a fellow Zambian.
