I had a whatsapp conversation with alumni Coach Thomas (in picture) who has gone on to study engineering in China. This chat demonstrates just how powerful and enduring our training is and a testament that nurturing self-belief is the key to unlocking Africa's potential.
Coach Thomas (20/08/17): Hello Michael how are you? This is Thomas Malidadi...
Michael Wray: Hey Thomas, great to hear from you. Where are you now?
Coach Thomas: I am in china studying to be a civil engineer.
Michael Wray: Oh...great. How is it going? What city you in?
Coach Thomas: So far so good just learning more academically and in the field of development as well the Chinese language...I am in yichang city, Hubei province...
Michael Wray: Quite a change from Zambia I guess. You think your time as an Edulution coach helped you?
Coach Thomas: Very much. Edulution taught me to be focused, positive minded, to improve my self esteem...Alone I can't together we can, nothing for nothing, something for something, I am unstoppable together we are unstoppable... I learnt quiet a lot and I cherish everything I learnt. Thank you, you were always our motivation...
Michael Wray: My honour to serve you Thomas...the best reward for me is that u do amazing things with your life, share the values you learnt for the betterment of yourself and the world. Only together we can!
Coach Thomas: I just wanted to express my gratitude for everything you did for me during my working at Edulution. By the way how is the tribe? I really miss it..
Michael Wray: Tribe is growing...7500 learners now, 60 coaches, we got 6 centres in Luangwa, 5 in Lundazi and 3 in Mfuwe. Plus 10 centres in and around Lusaka. You follow us on Facebook?
