Carjacking theft wipes out dreams of Zambian Boy

Hi friends. Some of you know this amazing young man. It’s Bwalya who many of you have helped. We have gotten him through trade school and He volunteers with our foundation by assisting with our feedings of the street kids. He is remarkable. Hard working and extremely kind.

He dreams of opening a small electronics shop one day. For the past two years he has self taught to repair most any phone or computer which he then resells for a bit of profit. Over that same two year period he has sacrificed to save every Kwatcha (local currency) that he can as he moves towards that dream.

A couple of days ago, a friend of his made a trip to South Africa and was coming back to Zambia with a couple of used TVs, some used phones and I think a used computer or two for Bwalya. The purchase drained his savings but he made the calculated decision to make this bulk purchase so he could take advantage of avoiding high shipping costs and the growing difficulty of securing good used stuff.

Well friends , the driver was carjacked. The passenger stabbed and wounded. Everything was taken. Bwalyas merchandise, his friends merchandise, passport, drivers license, cash, clothes. Everything in the car and with it, Bwalyas dreams. He is panicked and I am heartsick. $1400 represents everything to him.

I have hesitated to post this campaign since we will be launching a feeding campaign in a couple of weeks but when dealing with Zambia, you don’t get to pick the timing of needs. So, here it is. My plea for Bwalya. Any dollar raised is one dollar more than this great individual has right now. I grateful for each one of you and for your continuous love and prayers. They feel them.
