Picture Time

We’ve had some requests for pictures, so here you go. One thing that’s fascinating so far is that the Zambian people (especially kids) LOVE to have their pictures taken. “Mister, mister…can you copy me?” is what they ask me any time my camera is out. With digital cameras, they are able to see their picture immediately, and it’s a great joy to watch their faces light up and hear their laughter. Like Leah mentioned, these people we work with most benefit from our loving attention, including the camera. We haven’t taken a lot of pictures working at actual projects yet, so I haven’t posted more than a couple pictures of Zambians because the pics we have right now of the people don’t have a lot of personal meaning. Once we bring the camera to our projects, we’ll post again.

By the way, we won’t be posting over the weekend as we are spending the whole weekend at Vic Falls on the Zimbabwe side. It’s very safe and we’ll be with a group of about 15 from African Impact and just staying in the tourist areas. I’ll post about that experience on Sunday night or Monday.

Cheers,

Zac

**Ok. The Zambian internet connection is quite strong enough to upload pictures. I'll keep trying at other cafes or wi-fi spots and hope to post some photos soon. Sorry.
