Gershom Chifumbe Memorial

Gershom with one of the many orphans he befriended.

We are establishing a Gershom Chifumbe Communications Center  at the schools in memory of HealthEd Connect's long-time and irreplacable friend, Gershom.  His official title was HealthEd Connect, Zambian Communications Representative.  In the beginning Gershom was the sole communications link between those of us in the US and the schools in Zambia.  Over the years, however, contacts expanded as he helped mentor numerous people who now correspond with us via email!

Gershom had a little office in the Kafwa Center at the Chipulukusu School where we would like to establish a permanent Center in his memory.  The schools have been begging for a computer and printer so they can write and print exams -- this would provide them with those tools.  $5,000 will provide a Center at one school,  $10,000 two schools.  This amount will also provide a supply budget for ink, paper, and maintenance.

We would appreciate your spreading the word to others.  We will never forget Gershom and the pivotal role he played in establishing the schools.  He would be so pleased -- and bashfully humbled --- at this remembrance.

Donations can be made to HealthEd Connect, 1401 West Truman Road, Independence, MO 64050.  Or online at www.HealthEdConnect.org.  In the "Occasion" drop down menu just indicate in memory of Gershom Chifumbe and we'll make sure your donation is restricted for his memorial.
