Stories of change

  • Patricia Muchekesi - Victoria Falls Municipality COE

    Linecurve pink 2x
    To me GL is like a mother whose love for their children is unconditional. GL builds you, gives you a foundation on which to stand, educates and uplifts you. I believe that it is my utmost responsibility to change the lives of other women and men, because I now possess the knowledge, which I believe I must impart to the community so as to see change and development. In particular I have to transform men because we need their support.
