About Me (biography and organization description)
A Co-Founder and Programmes Coordinator of Youth Skills for Development ; a Youth Led Not for Profit organization registered in accordance with The Societies’ Act of the Republic of Zambia ,authorization No. 014259 in Zambia with the Secretariat in Kitwe. Youth Skills for Development seeks to empower the youths, underprivileged and citizens from all walks of life in the communities, improve the high levels of unemployment, poverty, HIV/AIDS , gender inequality and improve the provision of education , vocational training opportunities and supporting self-sustainability, self-reliance.

He is a dedicated and experienced youth leader, with more than a year of youth leadership. A self motivated, team player, committed, problem solver, and Information and Communication Technologies enthusiast. He is an experienced Volunteer, and Information Technology professional and a social worker by nature. He has served as a Volunteer Instructor in skills development, particularly Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for children and adults. He is a youth activist contributing to several issues including HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention promotion, fight for gender equality, increasing equal and quality education opportunities, skills and career development, individual and community self-sustainability promotion, Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) awareness and use, and many other issues in the community. He

Mr.Wandila has served mostly in Non Profit setups. He was the Sales Executive with Zambia State Insurance Corporation (ZSIC) , Technician and Local Area Network Administrator for a Local Company , Partnered with a local Business Foundation and Consultancy Company in ICTs Consultancy and Onsite ICTs Training to local schools ,corporate and individual clients ,Computer Literacy Program Instructor / Coordinator with a local community school , Action Partner and Volunteer Staff/ Instructor with Voice of the Youth Project Zambia in a Community Capacity Building Project, a project aimed at supplementing the government’s efforts in achieving the Education For All (EFA) goals , later engaged as the Education Programme Officer for the same organization. Besides he has for more than 3 years been involved in community youth leadership. He is a member of organizations including the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Global Youth Action Network , Telecentre.org , TakingITglobal , Model African Union .

He believes that it is a fight for all not leaving man or woman, boy or girl behind to promote equal and quality education for all. There is enough potential in every person’s mind that if accurately applied in collectively, we would create a better tomorrow and make this World a better place to live in. When this grace penetrates and conquers the inner World from which intelligence spring, it appears in its full power. This power of grace can act as a bridge for people from all walks of life to cross from poverty to self-sustainability and self-reliance. Labour in its crudest form is the only available resource that the poor have, and adding value to it would be the only way out of poverty .The worst form of poverty is lack of access to information. With access to information and individual and the community are on the right path in the struggle for equality in human rights, and equal and quality education. ICTs play a vital role as a catalyst in the attainment of this goal.

“I would rather act on my feelings than reflect on my feelings. I have no riches to give to the World, Yet I pledge to dedicate my Life , my time , my skills, my knowledge, all that I have , all that Iam and all that I do. I wish to unite my life , my hands , my knowledge with all to make this World an equal and better place to live in , making a better and equal tomorrow.” Wandila Simon Kamukwape

I am beginning to set up a website for the Africa Virtual School (for which we provide free online courses) and would like to invite you to participate by setting up a page for your own country. If it's not "in" Africa, don't worry, we can add it elsewhere. If this is something you're interested in, please feel free to contact me at admin@plc.edu.

Thanks!

Wandila,

Thank you for accepting me as a friend. As an educator, my school primarily focuses on elementary, middle, and high school students. As an online university faculty member for a large, well-known online university, I teach education classes to teachers. I have, however, taken training in project management classes, and I am certified to teach the classes. How can I partner with you or with students in South Africa? I am eager to do everything that I can.

Dr. Barbara Fedock
