I did not think that being away would create so much work when I returned home to Victoria. Perhaps it is because things are moving along very nicely. We have decided on using the fax machine more to shuffle documents back and for since not everyone is close to the internet. It also gives the facilitators practice in writing reports and managing budgets. We are starting to expand into Northwest Province with Jackson leading the way. Bicycles are no longer an option for transport for the crew. The distances are getting further and further. We need motor bikes. I used a Honda 125 when I was with VSO and have found it the best; so the next thing is to source the money for them. Like I said I am busy, perhaps I should change that to very busy.

Well that has been the fastest month every in my life. I have been to Zambia, did all that I needed to do and have returned home safely. Over the next while I will post some reports on what we accomplished this trip. I will say that I kept healthy and moved about even though our logistical plan had collapsed with the engine blowing up near Zimba on our way to Livingstone. Even the Spitting Cobra we surprised on a forest trail at our Kamalamba Demonstration Forest missed its mark; namely me. He was just as scared as me but his reflexes were quicker. It only took him a second to stand on his tail and strike. The pause in my reflexes almost cost me fang holes in my shirt and soiled shorts. Thanks Fred for pulling me back and breaking its spell.
