mulibwangi- hello, how are you?

Day four. At first I thought that I would attempt to recount all the details and happenings of this place, Lusaka, Zambia, but I know that will not only prove to be boring but impossible. So here are a few tid bits from the past few days.

Kamba, which means speak in Nianja, is the Rotwieler/Labrador puppy that greeted us as we approached the house that I will be living in for the next year. Could not have asked for a better welcoming...she is so full of energy and for about two hours every morning she runs around and then crashes for about half an hour and is back at it. I'll share a picture later...I haven't had a chance to pull out the camera just yet.

Day one. Getting used to the office, the time zone, and the weather we ran around town visiting different schools and then Tommy, one of the past interns turned employee, decided that we were going to go pick up a cat...but on the way we picked up a few coaches that had just been circumcised, one of Tommy's personal projects. Just to clarify "coaches" or "peer educators" are the people that disseminate the HIV/AIDS prevention curriculum, personalized to GRS (Grassroot Soccer), to the kids in the communities. Anyway, this was my introduction picking up three boys in a fair amount of pain on the way to pick up a kitten...Welcome to ZAMBIA!!!
