When our family first came to stay in Mapanza village, Chibwe Primary School became the birth place of Line’s education. The first 3 years of her education was achieved here. Leaving the school in 1982 was not easy. Line had become a Zambian. It is as simple as that.

Mid 1981 I arrived in Mapanza, to stay with my mother and sister. I too, attented Chibwe, starting mid term grade 5 and leaving mid term grade 6. I was too old, and my stay was too short, to become a “real” Zambian like my sister, but fortunately I was old enough to reflect on the experience, and realize that what I learned here about friendship, respect and humility, would become the true core of my personality as an adult. I have obtained educations in the fields of information technology and chemistry, and I have my own business in the city of Aarhus - Denmark.

In 2014 we came back. We came to say thank you. We are Zambian.

With love, Jesper & Line
