Good Week

Met with the founders of "I Am Zambia", an organization run by 2 housewives from the U.S.  They have a small school for older girls here in Lusaka.  They have volunteers come from the U.S. each summer for projects.  They constructed this rural medical clinic and want to hand it over the to the government.  We are going to propose a project to provide beds and medical equipment (it's just an empty building now).  Then the government will provide medical staff.  

"I Am Zambia" leaders Diane and Heidi, the two other white women, with the District Ministry of Health Managers at the clinic building.  

Work has started on the Lupani 3 classroom building. They had to cut down 5 large Mango trees. 
We really hated to see those go.  But they promised to plant new ones!

Just shows a chalkboard at the Lupani school.  The church will be replacing these as part of our project.  

Workers along the highway cutting the grass and brush away from the road using machetes. 
Such hard work for miles and miles.

Elder Tshimbundu's birthday pizza from us.  He's from French speaking Congo but his English is getting better and better each day.  

Our first package in Zambia.  Thanks to our Grand-kids who wanted to share their Halloween candy and some books with some of the children here.  But their pictures and box of chocolate is for us!

Our Indian neighbors keep sharing their food with Grandpa because he makes such a big fuss about how delicious it is. 
Too hot for Grandma.
