Staff Profile: Nokwethemba

Day event in Khula Village. 
This is Nokwethemba Nxumalo, our Medical Coordinator.

Nokwethemba is 28 and lives in Khula Village. She has worked for African Impact since July 2010 and started as our Community Coordinator, in March of 2010 she moved across to our medical project.

Nokwethemba loves all aspects of her job but she is particularly fond of Home Based Care, she feels that we really get into the heart of the community and help the people that need it the most. she sometimes finds things hard though, as she gets to know the people she visits with the volunteers and unfortunately some of these people don't survive. She finds this difficult but tries to remember all of the people we have helped when this happens. She finds going to church every weekend really helps her deal with this too and also likes to spend time with her friends and neighbours when she's not at work.

"I feel very privileged to work for African Impact and know how much we have helped in the community. I love meeting the volunteers from all over the world and would love one day to visit some of them. It is my dream to fly in a plane!"
