From Dandora slum to Canada; this is my journey of courage

Dr Joseph Mburu, Programmes Evaluator and Reporter, Ministry of immigration in Canada. He spoke to Mike Kihaki about his personal and career growth.

Education: Tabani Primary School, Lukhuna secondary school for O- Level, and Malava boys for A-Level. I joined University of Nairobi to study Political Science, then University of York (UK) for Masters in Public advancement and Relations and a PhD in Public Administration and International Relations.
Experience: I started as a secondary school teacher, then a lecturer before joining the Office of the President and later the finance ministry. I came to Canada as a lecturer and am currently an officer at the ministry of Immigration in Canada. 
First job/salary: I worked as a sugarcane harvester back in the village earning Sh500 per month. It was a backbreaking job but it taught me patience. 
Worst/best job: Honestly, I don’t consider any job bad, since both were putting food on the table despite the challenges. 
First /current Neighbourhood: I first lived in Dandora and all my household things were stolen on the first day. Now, I live in Canada.
