12 year old Dollah Kambalame was chosen by the head master at Chitimba Primary School and that always means we got the best pupil in the class (or school). Its normal that they want to showcase the brightest one and for me it was convenient that she could speak English. The teacher that was going to help us translate turned in sick that day.

Dollah loves to write poems and songs, and she read me one about education which was really great. She also did a school song, but haven't told the teacher about it yet. She is shy now, but she will definitely get far. And yes, both her and the brother wanted to become engineers.
