Zambia June 2012 update
Zambia update – June 2012
Just returned from a brief but productive visit to the northern province where we checked on our projects to make sure all was well.
Visited Kasenga school to view the 10,000 plus bricks the villagers have made for the next classroom block at the school. We took photos of the colourful group as they made more bricks – the women bucketing the water from a nearby river and the men mixing the clay and moulding the bricks.

The money for the slab was paid for by the Easter Kili group who successfully summited a few short months ago!
Tetekela Centre – going from strength to strength – they now have a piggery and a new ablution block sourced from other donors.
The play-park (donated by the 2010 Kili group) is standing the test of time and being enjoyed thoroughly by the children at the centre.

One of our charges at the house – Evance - had been extremely ill with his sickle-cell and we had to purchase very expensive medicine for him – costing £195; way out of reach of the average Zambian. Hopefully after this months course he should be much improved.
We took out over 400 pairs of spectacles donated by islanders to a local optician – they were gratefully received!
We also went up to Lake Tanganyika to visit a school project on behalf of another donor. This trip contained an element of excitement as we were stranded on the lake after our boat's engine had conked out!
We arrived at Chipwa Village 3 hours later than planned but at least it was eventful!
Finally, we also went to Mbala to meet some of the 100 women who have received a small starter loan for their businesses. This was done through the Guernsey Overseas Aid Committee. The woman have started up various businesses including vegetable sales, dried fish ales, charcoal, hot food and tailoring.

Climb Kilimanjaro
Our next climb Kilimanjaro is October 2013 ... the cost of the whole trip including safari and charity contribution will be £3,300
Join us!... together we can make a diffrence... We have been taking groups to climb Kilimanjaro since 1999, sometimes more than 1 group per year. Our summit success statistics are better than the park’s figures!!!
Our aim is to get everyone to climb Kilimanjaro safely but at least reach Gilman’s Point (The rim of the crater) which is a fantastic achievement in itself.
