A lot of meeting has been taking place the last couple of days! Yesterday, we had church in Chipulukusu and got to experience all the fun they have while worshipping! I learned a new song and dance that seem to come in handy so far, seeing as how it appears to be a favorite of the church congregation.
After church, we walked across the yard and had a celebration for the opening of the Kafwa Center, a building used solely for the Kafwa, a group of volunteer health care workers. They were so excited about having their own building, and it was impossible not to share their joy. We got to interact with the village's children briefly, and again today, but tomorrow-the first day of school- we'll have a lot more time with them.
Today was dedicated to the adults. We had a day long meeting regarding community action, program development, and the future of their healthcare and education for their children. Even though we sat in discussion most of the day, we were a bit exhausted from the harsh sun on our twisting, rocky half hour walk back to the guest lodge. It probably didn't help that our bellies were full of nshima, spinach and chicken (which we ate the Zambian way- no silverware!)
Tomorrow begins teacher mentoring, so I should go work on my watercolor lesson examples!
