A 19-year-old girl is about to help the country and the people who saved her in a difficult situation. Last year, an eighteen-year-old British-born Amelie Osborne Smith had a big accident in the African country of Zambia during a river rafting trip. A crocodile was trying to kidnap Amelie. Amelie’s friend saved her from the accident. Locals airlifted her to Lusaka and from there to London. About seven underwent surgery there.
Amelie decided to give back by building a school to help the future generations of Zambia who treated her have a better tomorrow. Amelie, who is currently studying psychology at Durham University, raised 38 lakhs through media interviews and international organizations and gave it to the school. This school is the future of around 100 Kootis.
