We are so happy to announce that Sebastian Kunda, WASH Technical Advisor and Program Manager from World Vision Zambia will join us for Walk4Water7! An engineer and program manager with extensive experience in Water-related engineering, Sebastian lives in Choma, Zambia, with his wife Susan and their 8-year-old son.
Sebastian had just joined World Vision in August 2010, when a WaterAfrica team traveled to Zambia to see World Vision’s WASH work firsthand. At that time we met Sebastian in the field and benefited from his Water Engineering expertise. When a WaterAfrica Team returned to Zambia in August 2012, Sebastian had transferred to his current position as a regional WASH Program Manager for World Vision. Once again it was a privilege to spend time learning from Sebastian, as well as his WASH Team.
We are delighted that Sebastian will be taking the (VERY!) long trip from Zambia to meet our WaterAfrica Community. His insight, experience and expertise will provide powerful testimony regarding the impact of your WaterAfrica donations and we hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to meet him.
We are also privileged to have Dr. Ray Norman planning to join us for Walk4Water7. Dr. Norman spent his early childhood in the West African bush country where his parents served as career medical missions. Dr. Norman received his academic degrees in engineering, with emphases in water resources and international development. Much of his research work focuses on the socio-technical interface between traditional societies and water use. Dr Norman currently works as academic dean at Messiah College in Grantham, PA, and he serves in an advisory and consulting role to World Vision and other international development agencies. He and his wife Hélène have two college-age children. We look forward to having Dr. Norman Walk with us on April 12.
Come April 12, to meet our guests, walk with them and ask them about water, sanitation and hygiene. We think you’ll be inspired and encouraged by their stories and insight about the impact Walk4Water has for villagers in Zambia.
