Mr. Morgan Phiri Chileshe, Ministry of Education, Zambia

Mr. Morgan, an International student of Suresh Gyan Vihar University took admission to pursue his graduation in School of Interdisciplinary and Liberal studies. He realized his zeal for psychology when he was studying his diploma in special education in South Africa. During his college days, he was always provided with an environment where he learned how important it was to appreciate the existence of different cultures, languages and acknowledging and respecting our mutual coexistence. This was emphasized by the diversity of nationalities present here.

SGVU instilled values in him which he has carried ever since. Other than understanding and a deep respect for diversity, he credits his sense of discipline, respect for hard work and current leadership abilities, to his University experience.

As a member of the Smile Community, also as an International Anchor of SGVU in the collegiate events and as a flautist in various concerts helped him to act as an ambassador for African culture at SGVU.

Demonstrated how much of an impact this unique approach towards education and holistic development could have on a single individual – this is the type of a transformative experience that he is now able to share with thousands of students across Africa, as he was benefited from the quality education imparted to them. He always wanted to teach and to make a difference with his teaching. It was a tremendously difficult thing that he did as a Special Educator in Africa, but he was always happy about himself knowing that he is creating a positive impact on children’s lives – however, small the impact, however few the children but an impact in the grand scheme of things.
