My last few days in Zambia (Again)

hello

how is everyone? Hope you are all well? Just here to tell you about my last few days in Zambia. On Wednesday i fly from Zimbabwe to Johannesburg, have a one night stop over in one of the airport hotels then fly to Hong Kong and then onto Bangkok. I arrive there on Friday, must take some toiletries on the plane so i can freshen up, although i am getting used to smelling really bad.

Friday 2nd March

My brother turned 25 today, (he's catching up), but apart from that not alot happened on this day. In the morning i worked at Maramba clinic and then in the afternoon, Linda Community school, which is attached to the orphanage had a net ball and football match so i went to support them. Good matches but both teams lost.

Saturday 3rd March

Typical Saturday, did lots of sunbathing, eating etc, in the evening we watched a film called flatliners. Bad film if you ask me, until about the last 20-30minutes.

Sunday 4th March

Just another chilled day, in the evening we watched the Lunar eclipse, so clear here, did any one else see it?

Tuesday 6th March

Good day all round! Spent the morning on Home based care, went to Ngwenya which is about 30 minutes from Maramba clinic, had a lot of laughs with the home based care ladies. I aldo got my preliminary results for my public health modules, i got Environmental health, 74%, Communicable diseases 70% and Disaster Managesment 67%. Very pleased with these results and i decided to celebrate by having 2 ice creams (greedy i know) but in the evening Kristen, one of the girls on the project is an aerobics instructor so we did some exercises. Worked off those ice creams anyway (i hope).

Thursday 8th March

Public holiday here in Zambia, Womens Day. We went to the orphanage with some food and had lunch with the boys and then went back to the orphanage in the afternoon. Friday was just a normal work day but went to watch the boys play football and the girls netball again. The boys won this time but the girls lost and were a bit upset.

Monday 12th March

another public holliday, today was youth day. The volunteers walked on the march in support.
Lots of schools in their uniforms with banners, felt quite proud to be with them actually.

Anyway, this will be my last entry until i reach Thailand, so keep in touch, keep safe


Lots of love
