I am looking for Memory Gomwe
I am looking for a friend of mine from the University of Zimbabwe, when I attended back in 1999 as an exchange student from the United States. Her name was Memory Gomwe (if I recall correctly she was engaged at the time, so her current surname may be different).
I believe that her father was a schoolteacher in Chegutu and I am certain that she was a Shumba (from what she told me about Shona culture). I understand if there is insufficient information to find her, but I am trying as many resources as possible to track her down. I humbly ask that, should you have any information on her or her family, you pass it along. I would be in your greatest debt. Thank you for your consideration.

- Why We Don't SucceedWe received this in an email titled "Why We Don't Succeed" last week and found it quite hilarious. Are we really that bad that we think someone who is intelligent "akangwarisa" or that an extrovert is someone "akavhengedzera?" or even that someone who is free spirited is a "nzenza?" Hameno. Read on for more wild and whacky "Shona perceptions"...
