Hello Ian,
It's good to hear from you. People hear are asking after all of you all the time so I send best wishes from Chipembi.
Having a good time here, I have taught eight weeks of computer classes to all of the grades and I'm really enjoying the teaching part.
I stayed with the Chitukas for the first five weeks and now I'm staying with two of the single female teachers down the road so I'm getting the world of the family and the single teachers which is really good. The Chitukas are such a nice welcoming family and the boys are always entertaining. Choolwe is very excited about Callum's visit in October! He will be glad to see his best friend again.
I went to Chamnuka last month and have been to Lusaka a good few times now including the stock exchange.
With me I brought a donation from St Philips to be spent as the school would choose, I think they have chosen to buy a laptop. I'm shopping around to see if I can find some reasonably priced ones here.
I went to see the dormitory that you renovated and it really looks great.
I hear you are moving congregation soon but I hope that I can continue to send news over from here and it would be great to meet some of the Scots that I am hearing so much about when I get back. Thank you so much for this opportunity, I know your church has worked very hard to set this link up and I am doing my best to help where I can.
Best wishes,
Roseanne

News from Albert at Chipmebi
Hi Ian,
My friend I thought I should share this with you.
I am just from having a briefing with the staff on the great news! We have received results for the last grade (Grade 12s) in school. Out of 128 candidates and/or pupils that sat for the final examinations last year (2010), only 2 candidates failed! This gives us a passing percentage of 98.4. Teachers are really excited about this achievement. Please join us in celebrating this good results.
Please say hello to everyone from all here, they have our warmest wishes as
ever.
Regards,
Albert

Projects@Chipmebi - August Visit and March Trip
As you know we have two teachers and two pupils from Chipembi School
visiting us in August this year. The dates of the trip have been finalised
and our visitors will be with us from the 11th of August to the 2nd of September.
Someone has kindly volunteered to host the two teachers but we are looking for a host for the two girls.
We are also looking for people to help with a programme of activities for the teachers and pupils while they are in Scotland. We would welcome suggestions for activities and offers of support for the teachers and girls during their stay. As many people both within and outside the congregation will testify this is a good opportunity to further the aims of the partnership and also to engage at an individual level with our frinds from Chipembi, a very rewarding experience.
Our plans for the trip to Chipembi are also moving forward. As we have to move on and secure flights at the best price we have to request those considering going on the trip give us a definite commitment to go on the trip by the 1st of April. We would then ask members of the party to make the first payment towards the trip around the middle of April so that we can book the flights. We acknowledge that this is a short timescale but flight prices are volatile and acting within these timescales should ensure we secure a reasonable price.
At our recent meeting one or two people expressed a concern that their skills would not fit the draft programme of work that was outlined in communication from the school. I would seek to reassure people considering going on the trip that the programme would devised with the school that could be delivered with the skillset of the group. There are many activities that can contribute to the development of the school and we all have skills that can contribute.
Please contact me if you can help with the visit or wish to give me your decision on the visit to Chipembi next year although I will send a reminder on this to those who have already expressed an interest.

The purpose of this meeting is to invite those with an interest in taking part in the trip to come along to find out more about the proposed work that will be undertaken; the commitment required of those taking part and the costs involved.
The meeting will feature some video taken on previous trips to the school, a number of short talks from some of those who have been on previous trips and an opportunity to informally discuss any questions.
The meeting will be held on the 27th of February at 12:30 in the Emmaeus Room in South Leith Parish Church.
