These past three weeks have simply flown by! Firstly, two teams from the UK came out. The first was a team of students and five teachers from Cranleigh School visiting Kawama. They had a packed week, including some teaching, a clothes sale, many interviews and the incredible Jubilee Independence celebration. There was a quick turnaround between groups as the next team arrived on the flight the Cranleigh team were leaving on! There were twelve adults, mostly teachers and some businessmen from ‘Stephen James’ staying at Kafakumba, a mission training centre. This week consisted of two teacher workshops, yet more interviews at Janna and Greater Joy and lots of painting (plus a relaxing day at Nsobe game park at the end)! This lot were lucky enough to experience ‘true Africa’ with many powercuts and a frequent lack of water! Thanks should go to Jodie and Karen for all the hours of work they did in preparation for the trips and in leading the trips out here.
So, apart from all the excitement of the teams, we experienced an earthquake (5.3 on the Richter scale), a lightening strike on the house, and the announcement of the death of the President of Zambia (his funeral is today)! Slightly nerve-wracking I have to admit but nevertheless, a memorable three weeks!
