A Man of Depth

I first met Wampembe Lukonde in October 2003 when he was a area development program manager in Eastern Zambia. He is now Operations Director for World Vision Zambia. He is highly qualified and experienced in Community Development. Good and sustainable community development depends on community volunteers who take ownership of their own destiny. Wampembe was the first to point out that the community was dying and he was now learning to take care of orphans - 400 at that time and surely many times that now. Wampembe is a strong leader and a man of real depth and the laughter of a child and the discernment of a Solomon. When I was in Lusaka in June he and his four sons and one adopted daughter shared dinner with me (his wife, a nurse was at work). What a joy it is to work with him.
