Winter's End

Two weeks in Lusaka for training,
Three nights in Luapula province camping on a beach,
And heading back to the village this afternoon.

Last minute computer effort before catching a mini-bus so only pictures today.  Stories and anecdotes to come soon ...



Some of my brothers and sisters
Lloyda, Act, and Lukundo


Hanging on my front porch.
Chlieshe, Act, Michael, and Lukundo


Michael (brother to Cynthia, son to the Headman) and my brother Act


View of the village behind my house from my ant hill.


My chimbusu (toilet) and house and the THOUSANDS of bags of maize that the villagers collected, bagged, moved, and slept with for days waiting for the government to come and purchase from them.


My little sister Lukundo. 
It took three months for this three year old to warm to me, stop crying when I approached, and come to the house with the rest of the children.


Edna (sister to Cynthia and Michael) and Grace (my cousin), both in grade 2, warming themselves by the braizer on a chilly afternoon.


An impromptu dance party in my ensaka.


Michael, five years old.


My kids outside the house.
Effel, Michael, Cynthia, Edna, Grace, Lukundo, and Lydia


A few fourth grade boys before an assembly around the flag pole.


Our three female Zombe teachers.
Madame Mbita, Madame Simpito, and Madame Musaba


Carrying a 100kg bag of maize to the staging area right next door to my house.


Lloyda, my sister, grade 2.

Sorry for the short post.  More to come soon!
