Here we are! Finally, Remy and I are in Lusaka...by way of Johannesburg. Greeted at the airport by Vincent and Cathy from the Lusaka office, we were whisked to the hotel and soon thereafter to KPMG's office in Lusaka (very nice, by the way!). Nate and Joe from MCW were waiting for us...we met with Michael and Corrie and the other volunteers from the Lusaka office. We talked about KFFL, MCW and our plans for the next few days. Lots of details to plan!
Then there were the books...lots and lots of fantastic books that Michael and Joe (MCW) has selected from local booksellers. There were also the books that Remy and I had brought from NY (thank you Meghan!). All in all we had over 700 books. We sorted them by reading level, counted them and assigned them to each grade. It's off to Chenyanya tomorrow!
More to come...
Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places.
