Email from Dr. Bodamer — May 30
Hi Molly,
“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.

we received a phone call from Cutter yesterday; he was in high spirits and extremely enthusiastic about his adventures to date! It was so much fun to get the surprise call and hear his voice after all this time. On the off chance that any other parents have been pouncing on every scrap of news from the Zambia crew, I was assured that everyone is fine, this has been an incredible experience, and any welcome home banquets should not, under any circumstances, include peanutbutter & jelly sandwiches

Alecia, we received your email…Yippee!!! Thank you so much!
It’s hard to believe it’s almost over. It actually sounds as if given the opportunity, you would stay a lot longer. Lovin’ every minute!
We are guessing you are already on your way to Livingston…so have a great time.
The pool at Jolly Boys looks fantastic! (It’s 100 degrees in PHX today) Enjoy!
Can’t wait to hear and see all about everything you have done and experienced!
XOXO Mom and Dad
PS…Thanks Ella for the P B & J sandwich alert!
Thank you Dr. Bodamer and Molly for your update too!
