I have known many people say, when you practice charity, donot let others know. Do it in private, it's not a show. Or that many people do it just for the millage. Well, for me, outreaches hold a lot of value. And sharing my experiences add to that value. 1/6

Meet Dr Sompwe, who has a passion in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics. She is an Anesthesia specialist at UTH but in her free time apart from ZOCA, she promote STEM in communities. 2/6

Promote your work, let others believe & get inspired to shape their communities. This is an opportunity for the younger ones, especially females to draw inspiration to pursue careers in, & stand out in the male dominated, STEM careers. 6/6 @matolasemm #DrSarahNyangu @ZMA2014
