Back at Isubilo

After an amazing trip to Livingstone - we are back at Isubilo still busy painting the OVC center. On saturday, when the kids were here I found a childrens book and started reading to a few kids. By the time I was finished the story I had a huge crowd around me. I passed the book to some kids when I was done and about 10 of them sat for around 45 minutes working together to read the story on your own. It really impacted me - the desire in the children to learn and the lack of resources for the most basic learning to take place. AND it got me really excited for the amazing things that can happen once the OVC center is complete. It's so great to think of the impact that we can have on the community here and especially the kids. Thanks to everyone for your support - you have made a huge difference in the lives of many Zambians!!! I miss you all!!!

Hope you are doing well, sounds like progress is happening with the OVC centre. Liam speaks about his trip often and is looking forward to his next missions trip (most likely to Isubilo). The pics her brought home are amazing, he made a video of the trip it's on his facebook, check it out. Say hello to Kastro for him, he misses him alot! He will send some pics to you to give to the kids. Take care, Rachel
