so, this really is my final blog from africa! this time next week we’ll be on a plane back to england. this prospect is made slightly better by reports that the uk is having a glorious summer, while we are leaving behind a Zambian winter (all relative, of course!).
we had a great week in lusaka, with a fantastic couple: vincent and elevin, who work for ‘school mission for Christ international’. it was expecially good for me as it was the zambian equivalent of my old job back home. it was ace to be back in schools again, and the response from the students was very encouraging. we ended the week by speaking at a student conference for school pupils aged around 13-18. this was even more impressive as there were about 700 young people and they had organised the whole thing themselves. amazing!
after our time in lusaka we travelled down to livingstone for a few days of being tourists! the victoria falls were stunning. it’s hard to describe them without sounding cheesy or cliché so I won’t try. we watched the boys jump off the bridge in various forms but my feet stayed firmly on the ground at all times. our last night was spent on a wonderful sunset cruise up the great zambezi river. bliss.
we’re back at kaniki now for our final week, which will be full of celebrations and farewells.
so this really is it. goodbye from africa!
