Former Miss Zambia To Help Street Children

Former Miss Zambia Cynthia Kanema has formed an organization that will help remove children from the streets.
It is believed that 1.5 million children in Zambia are living on the streets. They spend their time begging for money and food.

The government through the ministry of Sport, Youth and Child Development has taken some children off the streets.
The government is taking these children to Zambia National Service Camps around the country.
At these camps children are taught different things that will help them to be better people in life.
Cynthia Kanema’s organization has been formed to help government with this programme.
‘We as Zambians must work together to ensure that there are no children living on the streets,’ Cynthia said.

How long do you think a journey by car from a town called Cairo in Egypt to another town called Cape Town in South Africa would take? Quiet a long time, right? Now imagine making that same trip by… bicycle. How long would that take?
One month? Two months? One year? Two years?

It's Cairo To Cape Town By Bicycle!

Well, a group of cyclists from around the world are making this trip and they say it will take them more than five months.

We caught up withy the team in Lusaka were they were taking a break from the journey.
The leader of the group, Allan said itw as an exciting trip that gives them an opportunity to see the different cultures of the countries that they pass through.

Another cyclist, 71 year old man from Australia complained of being tired but he said he enjoyed the rising because it was good exercise for him.

The group is expected to rest again in Botswana before making the final trip to Cape Town in South Africa.

Kids Having Fun With Sports

Zambia’s former 400 Metres hurdles, Champion Samuel Matete has formed what is called a sports academy or a school for sports.
With this sports academy children are being given a chance to learn different games. But this is not just about sports; the children are also gaining something else.
With each competition, the winners of the games are given books, school bags and pencils to use at school.
‘We want the children to get something else apart from sport and we want the parents to encourage these children to join sports,’ Matete said.
Samuel Matete is remembered for winning a gold medal in the 400 metres hurdles.
