Selfless Ticha's Dream: Masters
Donation protected
Trust Mutekwa ( https://m.facebook.com/ticha.muzavazi?refid=8) trusted and approached me to help him achieve his own dream. I could never do it by myself; hence I thought of writing a little about him to all Zimbabweans and other people the world over who would like to make a difference in his life and consequently the lives of many children with disabilities in Zimbabwe. This is the second time that Ticha has received an offer to study for this Masters degree. It is a qualification he will use for the benefit of the children at his heart in Zimbabwe.
Ticha has dedicated his life to teaching children with disabilities in Zimbabwe and is currently teaching at St. Giles Special School. He is also a seasoned Mbira maker, player and teacher to the children with disabilities and many other learners who are now Mbira players. He has published the first ever Mbira Handbook in Zimbabwe. He trains and manages a Mbira band of children from St. Giles. He has gone the extra mile to advocate for children's rights. He campaigns for COMPUTER SKILLS FOR EVERY BLIND CHILD and slowly, his dreams for the children have been coming true.
He has given so much to Zimbabwe and has done so much with so little. He has a young family. He has dreams to advance academically as he seeks to leave a mark when it comes to the rights of children towards an empowered generation of people with disabilities. He goes all out and at times with his own resources , makes sure he makes dreams come true for others.
School started on 25 September 2017 and he missed it again but his place remains reserved for him.
