Brother Simon Kuipa Phiri is my friemd I knew him some 10yrs ago as he was rappimg up his program of study at chancellor college the University of Malawi. His passion was so evident as he did no other job after studies but filming business. He does it with much commitment he will grow beyond here for I believe the blue sky we see is nolonger the limit. Simon Kuipa Phiri has the tenacity to develop. May the good Lord lift him up beyond human imagination
This is so awesome this guy has been doing this when he was at University of Malawi and he has been working with so many different types of great people this is the grace of God.
This film is very nice
Disability is not in ability. This film need to be promoted so that many people can learn from it. Many people more especially the youth undermine their ability which makes them loose opportunities in life. I have learnt through this film that there is nothing for us without us regardless of the situations we found ourselves in
The firm is good and real things happen in Malawi ilike it
