“We just had our second International School, Baobab College form Lusaka. They aren’t really a College. The kids were grade 4, most were 9 years old. Our students certainly have had a bit of variety in terms of visiting children. A few students helped the Chimfunshi gift shop for most of the day by making buttons and magnets; their help was much appreciated. Saturday and Sunday it looks like we may help scrape and prep the orphanage for a new coat of paint. The students are all eager to help “give back” to Chimfunshi; this really is a great group of students.
Looks like we may head to Livingston a day early and spend a night at Baobab College in Lusaka on the way there to make it a two day trip as opposed to an incredibly long one day trip. We are still working out details.”
Comment from Molly: I do hope it works out to break the trip at Baobab College – what another great cultural experience for our students! If that has worked out they will have left Chimfunshi this morning! (And, actually, given the time change, may already be in Lusaka). I will post any updates I receive.
