With a profound sense of purpose, he trained as a missionary, driven by a desire to spread Christianity and alleviate the suffering he witnessed in the world around him. His formative years are marked by a strong work ethic and a relentless pursuit of knowledge, which shaped his mission as both a healer and an explorer.

Livingstone's remarkable encounters with different tribes and his deep commitment to combating the slave trade carve a legacy that transcends his lifetime.
