Today marks the last week that I’m here in Chit. The kind of emotions I have are better than they were and happiness has come to me that has been much needed. I wake up and am at the garage on time and work with Keith on varying tasks of the garage that […]

Today it rained here in Zambia. I’ve almost been here three months and on none of those days was there a drop of rain, nor was there many clouds as well. As the wet season approaches there will be a few more scattered showers but Octobor for the most part will be devoid […]

This morning I headed over to the hospital again but this time it wasn’t to watch surgery, as there isn’t surgery done on wednesdays unless they are emergencies, but instead I set up four solar lights along the hallway leading to the theatre. During night emergencies the hospitals private generator is turned on and […]

The night was a restless one for me, but that is nothing new. Since I was a child there is an innocent unrest in me for the birthday to come. Much like a child wakes often for Christmas and peeks for Santa I woke to wait and see when my mother would decorate the […]

Tomorrow, as many of you know, is my birthday. However, because of circumstances out of my control I tried not to make a big deal of my birthday. Perhaps my child-like excitement that always comes around the day every year that has lead to depression on other occasions leaked out in a lot […]

The day started with pictures being taken. The school needs more funding from the ministry of education so they had me take pictures of the progress of the building going up. I walked around it and snapped pictures from different angles. As the last shots were being taken I heard all this […]

Its Sunday today, and on the plate is church and Sunday night meeting with a game of chess in between with a nurse named Catherine who I’ve been teaching to play but this doesn’t warrant a crazily filled day of excitement.
True, Sundays have always been relaxed and are supposed to be relaxed but this week, […]

Removed.
Perhaps in my post where I said, that is all I will say because I was torn I should have instead just not posted at all. Lesson learned.

I’ve been rather socio-phobic since I’ve been here in retrospect. I’ve not reached outside myself at all to enjoy the PEOPLE of Chit. Sure, I’ve reached out to help them, but relationships are not made by doing some work, feeling good about myself and then sitting in my room all night reading the […]
