to and from. We spent all of Friday travelling to Livingstone, spent
Saturday morning at Vic Falls, then the rest of Saturday travelling
back to Lusaka. We got a good lesson about 'Africa time' Friday - when
we boarded the bus at 9:30am, we were told it would leave at 10:30am.
We eventually pulled out of the bus station at approx. 12:30pm. Vic
Falls was quite spectacular - definitely meets the hype. It is
amazing, but equally amazing is how close they let you get to the
crashing falls, with little barriers / guard rails. I will post some
photos of Vic Falls once I return.
Sunday (Today) was spent relaxing at our lodge, reading. Everyone else
had other work to do, so I actually took an entire day relaxing!!
Dinner tonight was at Danny's - the great indian restaurant that we
went to on our first night. Gary, Angela and I strategized on our next
steps for PCF and Kondwa as well as debating African politics and what
is needed to move things forward here in Zambia and beyond.
Tomorrow is my last day in Zambia, so I will have only one more
porridge breakfast with the kids. It will be quite difficult to leave
on Tuesday. In 8 short days I have grown quite fond of everyone here,
and will miss them all.
I am leaving Africa with a slightly different perspective than when I
arrived. I now realize, more than before, how important this work is,
how amazing these people are and how attainable change and impact are
(for a relatively small effort).
I am looking forward to the coming months and years knowing firsthand
the real impact we are going to be able make in these children's
lives. This is very cool.
