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
