Each day I gather more pieces of the puzzle for my trip to Zambia. Each day I rejoice that the process is moving along and each day brings a new level of stress as I prepare to graduate next week and prepare to leave in 28 DAYS. Today I spent 3 hours online searching for the cheapest airline tickets to Lusaka. VERY hard since the World Cup this year is in South Africa. Right now it looks like I need to raise about $5,000 mostly because of the high ticket prices. Not fun...but I am learning to trust that God will provide.
I did find out a little more of what I should be doing during my time in Zambia!!It looks like I will be Teaching and working with a consultant to help evaluate the different school programs and make proper plans for their growth and improvement in Mungo a remote African village that has been devastated by the AIDS pandemic
As well as participating in the micro-credit loan program that has just begun in the Misisi Compound. The Misisi Compound is notoriously known as the worst and most neglected slum in Lusaka. There are about one hundred thousand inhabitants, no public schools, police stations, or health clinics within this compound. Up to one thousand children in Misisi Compound live in “child-headed families” - orphaned brothers and sisters who depend only on each other for survival.
I am so grateful that the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together!!! Please continue to pray for me as my semester is coming to an end and as I am beginning to raise support for my trip.
