Goodbye and farewell
UNICEF House was the place to be, as on Friday 17 August, the Zvandiri CATS and other children were saying goodbye to an inspiring and awesome man. To most of us Dr Peter Salama had become more of a father figure and to even imagine having to say goodbye was unthinkable. Child Parliamentarians together with the rest of the children made him a present just to show how much he meant to them. The children had to constantly hide their present so as to keep it a surprise for Dr Salama was always on the move and since he knew the kids, I would have to say it was an epic battle for it to remain a surprise.
Childline Ambassador Thamsanqa Moyo was at her best as usual, belting out the most beautiful songs that got everyone listening and dancing, especially Dr Peter Salama getting down to an African rhythm.
Dr Peter Salama, be well, do good and know that you will always remain in our hearts and to Ethiopia, I hope you know you have been blessed to have him.
