"Purchase to Progress"

When you have nothing and you are given one thing then you will ask for more because this seems the right time and…you have nothing to loose. This is what we have experienced a few times, which made me a bit sad but it is also understandable seeing the circumstances these people live in.
However this is largely compensated by all the enthusiastic responses of the other teachers, pupils and parents we met. They are very happy with the things we have given them; amongst others a booklet for all grade 4 students on nutrition education and training on this book, pencils, sharpeners, papers, mugs, spoons, tea, sugar, markers, exercise books (multiple hundreds), white papers, color waxes, cricket sets, and soccer balls!

Our assignment is almost done and we have provided the schools a start of something which can grow, like a garden, but the next step has to come from the schools and the community itself. I am confident that they will succeed since the schools are very proud that they have been selected amongst all community schools. The Zambia group of October will be able to witness their progress!
