On Life in general:
My name is Roberto Kanforse, I’m 29 years old, born in Lago in Niassa province, single with no children.
I did my primary and secondary educations at Malawi in Makata school for primary and Blantyre for the secondary standard.
Before I joined HALO I worked as teacher in primary school in Lirangue, went to a Teacher course at Blantyre college, worked in a privet school in Kaphuka both in Malawi and at National Demining Institute- Nampula in Mozambique with contract and then I join HALO as a Supervisor by radio announcement.
I am a Catholic and with no party’s. I do drink, smoke.
I’m working and I’ve got my own house in my village in Lago at Niassa province.
Since I join HALO no problems with my senior staff at all.
My big worried are when my campaign prolongs, is a big issue to spend time with my family.
Since I started as a Supervisor in 2003 I’ve destroyed much kind of mines and UXOs and only the first was a big problem for me but god was my guide and now nothing to worry about.
On the future I would like to married and have many children and I would like to give them the better education.
Nothing else to say.
