Lusaka

I hope you have a vivid imagination and can "see" what I'm describing.  Jac has great pictures but so far technology has prevented us downloading to show you.  Great day in Lusaka the capital city of Zambia.  We visited a widow and children's program called Chikumbuso this morning.  What an inspiration.  This is one of our networking partners that has inspired us.  Lots more new ideas for our programs.  Then we headed to Blue Moon for lunch with our good friend Dana that has introduced us to so many people.  The special ome she brought for us to meet today was her 3-year old daughter Thea.  Yesterday we met with one of her friends, Maxine,who is a vivacious and cutting-edge dentist.  For this country of 12 million people there are a total of 70 dentists!
Tomorrow we're off to Ndola by bus.  There's a big soccer match tomorrow in Ndola and we got the last seats on the bus.
Everyone is healthy and happy.  Great group! The big frustration to everyone is the Internet challenge -- very sporadic and undependable.
