QUESTIFIED By Michael Forbes

“You can learn as much as you want in this world, but if you do not have the correct attitude, you are just one more in the millions of educated people out there.” This is a quote that came straight from the mouth of William Shultz, the man who basically runs the 7 month Quest Africa program along side his wife Cindy Shultz. I feel that the quote epitomizes everything that Quest stands for.

Having been brought up in sub-urban England, the attraction of spending three months during my gap year in the Zimbabwean bush was irresistible. I was grateful that the course started so soon into the beginning of my gap year, as I got to kick starts my sixteen months of discovery with a perfect introduction. I had just left Tonbridge School where I was Head Boy and had taken four A-levels. My twin brother and deputy head Alex opted rather for a short internship with a London based Bank.

When I arrived at Quest Africa, I was just another ordinary person, a young man who did not know what to do in life. I was a young man with the basic skills and knowledge of life but with today`s life and lifestyles I really needed more to help me deal with current day affairs.

 “Yuss, Zach. I’m really keen to check out the personal profiles that mom got emailed today!” I said with a bit more enthusiasm than usual whilst looking in my rear view mirror to see his reaction. We where on our way to Rosebank Mall to meet up with Devon Reynolds, and a friend from school. It’s now 5 days away from leaving for Quest, and the butterflies where slowly building up. Seeing Devon for the first time in months was good, and I knew that we all had a lot to catch up on. All three of us having girlfriends, I knew that conversation would not be short.
