Ambitious plans in Zambia
During my extended trip visting our programmes, I spent 5 days in Zambia where, apart from tasting local delicacies like Billtong (something a little like beef jerky), much has been happening.
We've luckily acquired a number of solar panels which are looking for worthy homes, so we are scouting in Eastern and Northern Zambia for new school sites. And because we are ambitious here at SolarAid, our goal is to have completed nine installations by the end of the year!
The photo below shows one of the schools where we hope to install solar. This is Chamandala Basic School in the Chadiza district.
The other evening we carried our dinner in the back of the car. The cockerel was flapping around in the back of the car, making the thought of eating it a little less inviting, but we were extremely grateful for this wholesome meal nonetheless.
Hopefully some more updates soon from Zambia.
