Joyce Armstrong in Zambia

This morning we ventured up to the village school to see how the less privileged children in Chipembi are educated. Considering that from the age of 7 they are expected to be bi-lingual they are doing really wel!
Warmly welcomed by the depute head we were able to leave football strips , chalks, pencils and some crayons with a few books - sadly aware of how little that was. Hopefully the money we left as well will buy a few more books.
Avoiding torrential downpours has become a fine art but avoiding the resultant floods of mud is more difficult! A pair of elegant white shoes finished up in the bin after our walk this morning
