I have arrived in Zambia. I am staying in Kabwe, Zambia about an hour away from Lusaka, the capital city. Kabwe is much different from Nairobi…there is more to do in Nairobi and I also knew few people in Nairobi; in Kabwe I do not know anyone. I am having a bit of a rough start, I never realized how privileged I was in Canada, like having water and electricity accessible at all times. I think I haven’t had water for hours at a time. I miss my home, family and friends very much. Living and working in Zambia for 3 ½ months is not going to be easy, but somehow I will make it through. I am trying to create a routine for myself to make things easier, as I live in my own guesthouse. It’s been 3 days since I arrived and I have bought groceries, cleaning supplies (very necessary) and few more supplies that are desperately needed for the house. Anyway I hope my next blog will be a bit more uplifting, but it’s only been 3 days. Sorry if the blog is not updated regularly but i have to walk to the internet cafe and it is about 4 blocks from where i am living...it might not sound very far but in 30 -40 degree weather it is not a fun time.
I spoke to your mom the other day and she did mention the rough start. Sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as you go through this rough patch, but remember there is always a silver lining to the dark and gray cloud, you just have to get to the end! Love you much, Kamilah
Baby sis you are doing great and the place looks great. Remember what I wrote to you and remember ...Fear is temporary, but regret is forever. When you get back home and settle into your comfortable life in Canada, you will never look back at this experience and think that you should not have done it, but you would regret it if you gave up or never did it at all. I am SOOOOO proud of you and can't wait for you to share with me all your exciting stories from Africa.
