| Hello, HealthEd Connect friends! |
 |
| I love the bunny that Kali sent me. |
It was a treat to have a visit from Little Boss Mirriam while we were in Zambia. She sent her greetings to all of you via the magic of a cell phone! She looked healthy and energetic and flashed her little trademark smile frequently. Her good friend and mentor, Evans, who has also chaired our Steering Committee, provided 'new' clothes for Mirriam and her Mom for their trip to see us. Also note Mirriam's new hair-do!

| This ice cream is even better than caterpillars! |
 |
| Can you hear me now? |
Mama Ethel says Mirriam's favorite foods are nshima (cornmeal) and greens. But she also enjoys the delicacy of fried caterpillars when they are available. And it was obvious she loved the ice cream we bought for her when we drove her to the bus to go home! Mama Ethel raises the caterpillars along with a small garden to try to keep food on the table for her little family. It is almost incomprehensible that the daily struggle for food is the driving force for so many people. Homes with little or no food confronted us throughout our visit. We have high hopes that the Bicycle income generating project will be a small beginning toward a better life for at least a few families. HealthEd Connect can't change the world but we firmly believe we can make a world of difference for some.
