Norbet Nguluwe the son of Felix finally got his medicine today for Rabbi’s. It has been a long wait since I sent the money in January for the Rabbi’s shots. But I am relieved. Since he was the youngest of Felix’s kids he would always ride in the cab of the truck with Felix and I, when we would go out visiting the villages taking school supplies or seeds. I know Felix and Charity are relieved that their son is going to be OK (we hope); I sure am. Now let’s get back to work!

I feel so hopeless sitting here in Canada waiting for news on the fate of Felix’s son, Norbet. The money I sent in January has still not arrived in Petauke sent by Western Union. Western Union is moving very slowly on this problem or should I now say not moving at all! Even sending more would not help. Felix is travelling every day to Petauke over 30 kilometres. The rains are preventing him to use his bike so he walks. He could catch a bus but his money has run out.
I have just received some great photos taken by Ryan at the project during his visit just recently. Take a look I will be adding them a few at a time. Thanks Ryan!
January is moving right along and so are we. Unfortunately our star volunteer, Ryan, has now returned to the USA to go back to school. Let’s hope he can return later on this year. I know the people will miss him along with me at this end. Hopefully we can get our program up and running for more volunteers to be active on site in Zambia.
I have sent pencils and pens with my friend John to his project in Rwanda where there is a chance we will be coaching a team of volunteers to start planting trees. Good luck John!
I have just about got my ‘how to’ booklet finished for our facilitators to read and add their input and regional names for trees etc.
May I wish everyone the best of the season and that the New Year be a healthy one.
I look forward to returning to Zambia and Africa early in 2010 to continue my work there with some very special people. Although 2009 was a very challenging one for me in the health end of things; the project flourished. So it goes to show that change can come. African Community Projects motto is “by the community for the community” which has proven true this year. Zikomo kwambiri
