We have been exploring many project opportunities this week including several school projects, water projects, and health clinic support.  So many needs and we can't do everything.

Most of the poor areas of town and in the country side the women and children pump water and carry their buckets, sometimes a long ways, morning and night.  In the rural areas the church has put in wells so they don't have to go so far to get good water.  Helps the kids have more time for school.

Along the roadways between towns, we see these stands everywhere. 

We visited this school about 40 kms from Lusaka then off the highway about 2kms.  These kids were just hanging around because school was not in session.  The primary age children all sat on the floor for school because they don't have enough desks.  Also they lack teachers.  The government will provide these rural schools with a teacher if the community builds them a house and latrine.  We hope to provide materials so they can build another teacher house and provide desks.

Shows some homes they live in out in the rural areas.

A very nice view of the country side.  We were on our way to a school about 4km from the main road.  Good thing we had a truck because some gullies were very deep.
