There was no skyscraper in in in Lusaka.
So we had to fly in civil engineers, um, actually from Dubai, to to help them to teach teach the constructors how to build a wall like that.
It was it was a learning curve for us.
And from when we did that project, then other projects.
other countries that came to us and said, oh, I want to have a cancer center, for example.
I also worked with Malawi in their first cancer hospital as well.
So we had a kind of a blueprint that we could use to help especially developing countries do that.

For example, I fought really h hard to have the first plant breeder in Namibia get a PhD.
Now, why was that important?
Because Namibia in those it's a large piece of land, two million people, but most of Namibia is actually desert.
Desert.
They exactly.
So they didn't have they didn't have someone even in the whole country nobody had a PhD in plant breeding.

So it wasn't easy for me to fight for that, but I managed to fight to get this first lady to become a PhD.
Now, what's happened since then?
