*For each of the five questions, post an image or two that illustrate each answer.

*Your answers should be complete sentences, specific enough that I know you know - generally - the answer, and IN YOUR OWN WORDS. (It'll be obvious if you copy and paste from Wikipedia, so please spare me that disappointment. You are intelligent, and are able to change the wording into your own language. I would rather read your words. ☺)

INSPIRING!: Maud Chifamba

"It really motivated me to work harder because there was no one to take care of me except myself." - Maud Chifamba

"Born to a poor family in the Hunters resettlement community in Chegutu, central Zimbabwe, Maud lost her father when she was just five years old. Her mother also passed away last year. Her two brothers, who are general workers at a farm, were unable to pay the fees required to keep her at formal school so Maud started studying vigorously at home all by herself. (CNN)"Story HERE.
