It was said that it would reach 30 degrees today and we well and truly hit the prediction with the outside temperature on the wagon reading 32. It was another beautiful day in Zambia with a gorgeous sunrise to start the trek to school and sunset on the way back to the lodge.
Exciting day for the team – we were all up and not running today. I was excited to get back to school and get involved with the teaching and learning at Mwiimbi and it’s school life.
The day started with a Science and English lesson. Science is definitely a challenge to teach here without all the resources we have at home. English, well there was laughter, and the laughter was at my expense – with learning meanings and how to pronounce new words, I was called upon and to chip in and pronounce the words myself – and with our accent it ended in laughter. Mathematics had me teaching a short cut in standard form and Sally finishing the lesson with a team competition. It was a fun filled lesson which Kafuko thoroughly enjoyed.
Sally had the students singing at breaktime and the classes where filled with the sweet voices of Deb’s class as she was teaching her students the New Zealand national anthem. Their voices are voices of angels when they sing.
We met at Kawama school for tomorrows planning and the sadly the emotions of the thought of soon having to say goodbye are starting to surface as the time with the schools are coming to an end. The next two days I’m sure with see as much packed in as possible and many Kodak moments to come to capture and memories to collect and to share back home.

Hi, sounds like things are getting better and better - we are all very jealous! Make the most of the sunshine - it might be the last you see for a while:)
