Another Africa Experience...

From 9 to 17 April I had the bounty of making another trip to Africa, this time to Zambia. I spent my time there at the Banani International School / William Masethla Foundation, which is located some 80 kilometers north of Lusaka, on the road to Kabwe. I stayed with dear friends Chuungu and Mushota Malitonga, and their son Mwape.

It was a time of renewing old friendships and making new ones. I got to meet Jennifer, from the Philippines, and Akamunwa, the Zambian Chief, who both served at the World Centre a few years ago, and their eleven month old son Jamar (Jen taught me how to use a malong cloth for a baby sling, which will come in handy with Enna-Marie growing bigger); Febbie Mzungu from Malawi, who also used to serve at the World Centre; Derek Sithole from Zimbabwe, an old friend from the time I was in Haifa in 1992/1993 (see the link to his blog somewhere on this page...); Selaam Ahderom from Uganda, who used to serve in OSED before; and Karen, who used to serve at the World Centre before she became Mrs. Pollock.

Here are some pictures that were taken during these wonderful days!
