Although Kabuwe was full of dull people in brain but but Buwira was selected to Katete Secondary school. He was an examplar of the community and his family as he was the first individual to reach secondary school level . Other community and family members were customers of school dropout.
Buwira was bored with his community’s status. “I should work hard so that I change my community,” Buwira motivated himself. For sure Kabuwe’s status was shameful and useless. He started his form one at Katete Secondary school with his working hard spirit. Though some people like Mr Siya persuades him to drop out of school but he continued with his education.

One day , Buwira met Mr Bwengu at the playing field . “Are you really from this miserable community,” Mr Bwengu curiosily asked Buwira. ” Yes I’m from this community, I was born here and grew up here, ” Buwira replied with confidence. It was unbelievable for someone from Kabuwe community to be selected to university. Buwira became pangolin of the community. Most of Kabuwe’s community members did not believe that Buwira had been selected to New Delhi university in India .
