Just wanted to tell all of you chief supporters on the home front that Team Zambia 2014 is just about ready to launch. We had hours and hours on the telephone and computer trying to regroup after getting our flights canceled TWICE due to the snowstorm. But we had lots of other people to commiserate with! Last count over 10,000 flights were canceled due to Hercules. Fortunately, the other members of the team are traveling as scheduled. Michael Lewis has already been in Africa for several days and Michelle Mahlik, and Cherry and Shandra Newcom leave tomorrow. Hopefully their leaders will catch up at some point!
All lights are now green for a great trip even though we're starting 3 days later than planned. Who can complain about a day sight-seeing in London while waiting for our next flight, getting drenched at Victoria Falls, one of the wonders of the world, or cruising down the river watching elephants? As awesome as that all sounds, the heart of the trip will be the adorable kids we will meet, the inspiring health workers we will work with, and the opportunity we will have to make a real difference in other people's lives. I'm sure there will be MANY stories to tell when we return.
We have a 5:50 a.m. flight Sunday morning. So we're almost off...
