I live in Chongwe District, Kankatapa Area and am a teacher of a Grade Five Class at Evergreen Basic School. I am also a longstanding member of the Epilepsy Association of Zambia. On 12th February, 2018, I organized a health talk on Epilepsy and two classes were combined to listen to this talk. The pupils had a lot of questions about epilepsy and I helped them to understand what epilepsy is and its causes.
