wow Africa!: (Dickson Nyemba) unsung hero

Dickson Nyemba was born on the 8th September 1958. He spent his childhood in Chikumbulu, a small village in Mbeya region-Tanzania. As a young boy, he struggled to get past standard seven due to his poor performance. Many including his relatives had given up on him after he repeated the same class three times! He was moved to a town school in hopes of better results. To his luck, he managed to graduate standard seven and later high school.He went on to get a diploma in teaching and taught for some years before realizing his leadership and administrative talent, and went on to open his own school which grew amazingly. This definitely does not make him a hero.
How then is he on this page?
Nyemba did not sit on his blessings, but used them for the good of the community. He chose to share them in very distinctive ways.
# In his school which ran from form 1-4, he took in and accommodated five orphaned children every year. these students studied free of charge for all their four years at swilla schools. By 2011 he had educated over 60 students who went out and used their education to make a difference in the world in many ways.
# Every year him and his team went out into villages including chikumbulu(his home land), assessed the needs of the very old people and find ways to help. Cartons of sugar, rice, mattresses and house renovations were some of the things they did and gave to the elderly.

serving in the Army

# Its a tradition that each October,his staff engage in planting trees in and around the school area.
# His school has a dispensary that not only takes care of the student's health, but also the health of the community around the school for free.
For this, i think he deserves to be sung.
(Dickson Nyemba passed on in December 2011, but his deeds still speak fro him...RIP)
