The Alba Family (Ivan, Elena, Isabel and Lily) met with a Zim Rotarian named Tina “Tete Chikisa” Chirwe who runs a school in Chipinge. She has the true heart of a ‘Rotarian on fire’. After touring much of the country by bus, the family ended up working with the St. Albertina School to help them improve their mathematics education program. Isabel and Lily attended the school and learned, first hand, what it was to be an African student, and Elena and Ivan got straight to work with the teachers and the principal. The Rotarian-run school boards many students from the outskirts of the community and Tina, herself, pays for those students who have difficulty paying the modest tuition to attend. The Rotarians in the community are constantly searching for ways to help those who are in greatest need. Zimbabwe has many who need this help.
