Its now a week since team 3 finished working at Chamba Valley - its been a hard two weeks. Beside the building site work we have also been running in parallel a holiday club in the local church on 3 mornings and painting at Kumbayah School. The team were amazingly hard working and achieved a lot - they worked so hard that it was challenging to keep up with them. This was besides all of our usual visits to our partners.
Interestingly we had two Anglican clergy, husband and wife Bob and Sue I'm sure they wont mind me mentioning their names. Bob is profoundly deaf and communicates mainly by BSL sign language. He worked as a teacher in the early 70's in Zambia so for him it was a return visit, we were able to organise some visits to meet folk from the deaf community hear and a visit to the school he used to teach at. The highlight for me was that they gave us communion on the last morning before they flew home. Bob celebrated using sign language with Sue translating. It was such a special service, outside in the grounds of Limbo lodge where we were staying down in Livingstone.
So this week its been busy relaxing and catching up before the next team arrive on Sunday. This will be our smallest team just 6 people, I'm sure it will be a case of quality not quantity.
I will catch up with some more of this another day as I need to close now.
I just wanted you all to know that Zambia is where its happening!
Love to you all
Carol
