An Update.

So here it is.

Zambia is a pretty amazing place, the people are nice, the weather is great but it is very tough. I mean tough in the sense there are very few good roads. If any. Getting a cab or a bus, you wonder if you'll make it to the other destination because of the lack of safety awareness here, but thats all part of the fun. So what I'm currently working on is i'm currently co-ordinating nine radio listener groups in nine different rural communities, and what my role is, is to collect information, create videos, take photos of these groups each week and feed them to the radio show which is run by the charity i'm working with. I also support the communities when the shows are live so for one hour a week i'm incredibly stressed. But the reward is great. This is also the reason I have internet (Although limited), I am based at the office now instead of one of the communities. Why you ask? One of the reasons is I'm getting a much better insight into international development than I would in a community plus I still get to visit the communities.. there are other contributing factors but they are a story for another time.

But asides from the Radio listening groups, i'm working a various number of things which all make me feel i'm doing something worthwhile. Just want to say thanks again, for the support you guys have given me, you have all made me a better person (apart from Rather, who I hate.). ;)

Haha, seen no wildlife, as thats in the 'tourist' part of Zambia which I like to say. It is pretty amazing meeting so many interesting people. Like the place in the 3rd picture is hidden in the middle of nowhere, and is the most beautiful place I've seen yet. I'll upload some more pictures tommorrow! (it takes so long to upload them!)
