This is Frazer. Frazer Mwaba. This old picture was the original picture Frazer sent to us when he was applying for a scholarship to High School. He wrote his sponsor that when he was accepted it was the happiest day of his life. He wrote his sponsor that he was about to be chased out of school. He only had one pair of shoes (the cheap plastic flip flops) and the school told him that they were unacceptable footwear. He found some used shoes that didn’t have bottoms on the front half of the shoe, just the heel. He said they looked like shoes from the top. He wore those to class and keep his feet still so no one would notice.
Many years later Frazer is now the teacher he dreamed of becoming. Here are his own words written to his sponsor:
“What a wonderful thing that the poor young man Frazer Mwamba would be called the teacher, not only a teacher but an influential figure in the society, as a source of knowledge and information. A teacher is considered to be a person who knows everything in our society, we are respected in the community.
I thank you Sir, because you have dug a concrete foundation for me. Indeed, you have taught me how to fish. I thank you because you never gave me fish, but you gave me nets and other materials for fishing and now I am a real fisherman. I will also teach others how to fish. That is my goal. I would wish to help every one who will be in need of my help. I promise to lend a hand even to those who never asked me, so long as they are in need of my help.
God bless you, be blessed, and Stay Blessed Always.”
