Hello hope everyone is well!!
I am fine, most of the week i have been working on home based care in the Maramba area, but different zones. The man i was telling you about we managed to get him to hospital but had to pay for the truck, it cost 50,000 kwacha and 10,000 for him to register, this is roughly about 8 pounds, i know its not a lot but to the Zambians here it is a lot of money and the family would never have been able to get him in to hospital. Anyway he is in hospital now and is doing well and as volunteers we are the talk of the town for helping him-or so i have been told. It is quite upsetting really that in the UK getting some one to hospital is only a phone call away but here it needs planning . Thursday i went on homebased care but stayed in the grounds and helped the manager formulate her monthly report for Zambian International. In the afternoons this week i have bee either on the farm or painting one of the schools in Dambwa, an area in Livingstone, good fun but hard work in the heat.
In the evenings it is quite a social event, there is a bar that reminds me of Thornberries and we just go in there and chat with other volunteers. Next week is my fourth week, i cross over to Zimbabwe on the 5th February. I will miss Zambia as i love it, but if the rest of the trip is as good as the first part i will love the rest of it too.
Keep your comments and emails coming, its great to here from everybody.
Love
Andreaxx

Helping to raise the quality of care that is given must be very rewarding. Well done to all.
Hope you achieve all your aims here
before you move on to Zimbabwe.
Take care
Lots of love

You could always build your farm in the middle of Moston fields a few cows, sheep and chickens etc!! Still not hearing about any men? Why not?!!!!
