Hello from Kitwe!

Patrick Chanda and Ed and Linda Miller were waiting for us at the airport. From Ndola, we drove the orphanage van and arrived at our hotel around 5pm. The highway was called, shockingly enough, the “Ndola-Kitwe Road”. The first township in Kitwe was Guangon, and they were selling goods on the sides of the highway. (Homemade baskets, corn, tomatoes, folding chairs, twin bunk beds and the whole road was lined with purple-flowering trees the size of a full grown maple tree. (Picture to follow)

Lindsay and my room is currently 85 degrees (my clock has a thermometer in case you were wondering.) The front desk equipped us with a large can of the brand named “Super Strike Flying and Crawling Insect Killer” spray. We guess that’s good. Oh, and we saw some real “free-range chickens” on the drive here. (Michele won’t feel so bad if she has to eat those.) Lindsay is convinced she’s being bitten, but there is no evidence to prove this… yet. (I love you Mom.) And surprisingly, no one lost any luggage. That’s it for now. Got a meeting soon. Very excited about being in Zambia.

Hello Michele!

I finally had the chance to come and view the site and it sounds like it is an amazing place.

Can't wait to hear all about the trip!
