Hello everyone...
This will be my last blog from Africa :(:( Tomorrow is the big day for returning to the motherland to go back to uni- on MONDAY. I can't believe how quick it's all happened!!
So I know there's a fair bit missing here....
I've had big problems with getting the internet. I would love to put up some photos for you, but this computer doesn't have the capability and Zambia's was too slow!!
So I've spent the last 10 days at MMM in Ndola catching up with everyone I met last time I was there. I did a little bit of 'work' in health education- teaching basic child health and HIV awareness to the ladies who help with the Kantolomba feeding program (a program Romaine church supports to make sure the children of this entire suburb at least get one meal a week), and to the women learning to write read and sew at the Women in Need project in Kafubu (they were attempting to teach me to sew, but I'm not going to be a tailor any time soon).
I've been hanging out with my friend Buseko (who is going to be a doctor!!!) and babysitting kids a fair bit, especially Mwa (short for Mwatenuma)who lives in the house next door to where I was staying (Ba Lonswita's house!). Photos will come...
I've been driving around the crazy potholes (which are overflowing with water at this time of year because of the rain) in the beat up MMM mazda. It's been fun- crazy driving!!!
So I'm now in Jo'burg for my last night and will arrive back in Melbourne on Friday night. AS much as I love it here I think it's time for me to come home- I miss you all. And my language skills aren't improving (Although my Bemba is better than my SiSwati was, so it's getting there).
Will post photos from home!!!
See you all soon
Luv Lou
