Meet the Shomeka Board Members...


Somehow Zambia runs in our blood: we're addicted, we're empassioned, we're the Shomeka Board of Directors. Each one of us has caught the vision and believes, "If we build it, they will come!" (Please excuse me...I'm an Iowan farmer's daughter! :) But really, we're a group of individuals who have fallen in love with the Zambian people and desire to see them healthy & full of life!






Amidst the strategic planning, grant writing, and project development, I don't want anyone to lose sight of the fact that we were just a few people who got together and said, "Hey, people are dying in Africa...let's see if we can do something about it."



On that note, we're grass roots. We have families, careers, and dishes to wash. We've tried to put our heads together to see what we can do for Zambia. We just want them to share in the blessings that we so often take for granted--a home, food, education, access to health care.
