Zambia, look what your money has done for this Kwela Scholar. He started sch in Gr 6, having learnt to read Nyanja from another child. Missed 1st Term of Gr8 - no money. That's when Kwela found him. Kwela exists to find & nurture such national treasures - via your generosity🙏🏾

Opening a newborn's chest to repair a congenital malformation where the oesophagus is not properly formed (oesophageal atresia) is one of my favourite surgeries. Although challenging, this operation allows the baby to swallow normally and live a full life.
