Prices in Zambia

Thought folks might be interested...

Our hotel in the middle of downtown Kitwe is $65 per night, which includes all you can eat breakfasts and dinners in a private meeting room. Hot water and air conditioning are intermittent.

Computer access at internet cafes is 100 - 300 kwacha (3-8 cents) per minute.

Material (seen in this photo) at the fabric shop is 4,000 - 20,000 kwacha ($1 - 5) per meter.

Gasoline is 7100 kwacha per liter (about $8 per gallon).

Hi Guys,
Could you get a message to Don and Dena? We've been following what's been happening in Zambia on the missions trip, but for some reason our emails keep coming back. We're praying for you daily. Your friends at Arizona Hills Church

I don't know how we get things done in Zambia with gas prices at about $8/ gallon!!! it's amazing that we can afford to drive cars.
