From wheelbarrow pusher to prospective medic

A DETERMINED, focused and hardworking 24-year old Zambian youth is about to transition from a wheelbarrow pusher on the streets of Lusaka to a cardiovascular technology student at a prestigious university in India.
 
Cardiovascular technologists are health professionals that deal with the circulatory system.
 
They obtain a medical history, evaluate pulses and assess blood flow in arteries and veins by listening to the vascular flow sounds for abnormalities.
 
Kennedy Madombwe decided he wanted to pursue a career in that field after seeing his grandmother suffer with heart condition that was never quite dealt with until she died in his home town of Mkushi, Central Province.
 
Upon completion of his secondary education in 2018, Kennedy could not immediately go into university or college because his results were not too good.
 
With his parents too poor to sponsor his attempt back in school, Kennedy moved from Mkushi to Lusaka where he did all sorts of jobs, including pushing wheelbarrows to survive.
 
With his little earnings, he sponsored himself back to school and rewrote his Grade 12 exams in 2020 and passed them.
 
Kennedy then embarked on a search for scholarships, writing different aptitude tests for eligibility until he landed a scholarship with Maharishi Markandeshwar University in Mullana Ambala in India.
 
“I have been fighting and pushing for this scholarship since 2019 because it’s the only way I can further my education,” the soft spoken Kennedy told Kalemba.
 
However, a little hurdle stands in Kennedy’s way.
 
The scholarship covers tuition, meals, accommodation but does not provide an air ticket to India and now Kennedy fears he will lose the opportunity having tried to raise a funds for a flight ticket but failed.
 
Kennedy now turns to the public seeking help from well-wishers to help him to purchase a one-way ticket to India where he intends to stay until the end of his three-year study.
