Adventures in Zambia

I have just returned from spending the week in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. I had a great time. I spent time with the director and my supervisor from Canada. I also traveled with them to a place called Siavonga which is about 3 hours outside of Lusaka. We went to visit remote remote remote villages where there are mobile clinics. We traveled through dirt roads as there is are no infrastructure in this area to support cars. The villages were about 40 km from town, without the mobile clinics located in these remote areas many people would die without health care. Most have to walk this distance to see a doctor and many do not make it back home. I witnessed these mobile clinics and saw the great work that they are doing. At one of the clinics i took some pictures of children which you will see in this post.

We stayed at a place called Sandy Beach...it is located right on Lake Kariba. Lake Kariba is the largest man made lake in the world. It is so beautiful but i would never swim in it because there are crocodiles and hippos YIKES!!!!...i have some pictures from outside my room...ENJOY!!!

As well we went to the Kariba Dam which is right in between Zimbabwe and Zambia so i was in two places at the same time....he he he!!!

Annoying

Ok so one would think that spiders, cockroaches, scorpions would be the insects that would annoy people...actually i am most annoyed at ANTS...they are everywhere...i hate them so much....even when i clean they are there...looking for food, i think i take the most joy in killing them. I know in my posts i often speak of insects but they are a big part of my life here in Zambia (even though i think i make it that way..he he he)

I have been sick a few times since i have been here i think it was some chicken that i had. It is from this place called Hungry Lion...which is basically a chicken and chips place...i feel like this is all they sell in Zambia not sure if it is that way in other African countries. Anyway, i have not eaten the chicken and i seem to be better.
