CHINGOLA, Zambia－Shadreck Malama, 33, son of both blind parents, was lucky that he came across a Chinese national who was running some businesses in Ndola, Zambia.
Malama s upbringing was rough and without proper education because his parents could not afford to pay for his school fees. I was helped by this Chinese, Bao Bingwen who did not only give me a job, but he taught me survival life skills, said Malama.
Malama narrated that the Chinese taught him electrical and plumbing skills that he is now using to support his family and his parents.
