A brief bio on our guest on Ichalo Chesu
Mwansa Mupunda Jr is a Registered Nurse working as Nursing Supervisor at a nursing home. He is from Lusaka, Zambia and now lives in Pennsylvania. He is not married and has no children. He is an ambassador/volunteer with the Clinton Foundation. Mwansa recently registered a new company dealing in import & export company, it will trade between America and Zambia/Africa. The company will be an activist company in the sense that it will actively promote gender equality for African women in the U.S. and in Africa. We will help African women by finding markets for their products here in the U.S. Mwansa is very supportive of African initiatives here in the U.S. such as the "SendBetty2School" campaign by George Mtonga.
Mwansa is a committee member for the business committee in SOZA ( Society Of Zambians in America). He believe in gender equality because it the key/answer to Zambia's economic problem. Mwansa says "As a nurse, I want to use my knowledge and experience to help some clinics in Zambia e.g. on pediatrics and maternity issues. For my business that I just registered, I will be supplying 3 things: 1) African clothes, 2) handcrafts, jewelry and gifts, and 3) African dried foods and vegetables. I'm interested in Zambian politics, and also American politics, so I'm always comparing the standards between Zambian and American politics."
