Weekend #2!!

Hey guys!!

If you want to see pics of the house, check out Tarun's blog at http://oneworldphilosophy.tumblr.com/

All he posts is pictures haha. So I'll just get him to do all the work.

We had a meeting on Saturday morning about what projects we want to do. Since the projects don’t yet exist, it was hard for people to make decisions. But the night before I was talking to Goodson and he really needs help with social enterprise. At the moment, both of the community centres are mainly funded by donors and are not self-sustained. My project would be looking at how we can create ways for the centres to generate their own income. For example, Bwafwano has a tailoring club and they sell some clothes to raise money. So far 20% of Bwafwano’s income is self generated. We want to increase that though. So more to come on that! I get to work with both community centres for now!

That afternoon Jason gave some of us a photography workshop and taught us about ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. My camera isn’t that extensive but it was cool to know what these things do. Then I went over to practice taking pictures and somehow ended up playing with the kids. It was SO much fun.

We went to a concert that night which was fun. The power went out for an hour though haha. Good old Zambia. The woman was amazing though. She was like India Arie – SUPER amazing.


Today is Father's Day! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD! I LOVE YOU! Went to the market which was super awesome. Heavy bargaining going down.. but I didn't buy anything. Mom, did you want some wooden bowls for the house? If there are any requests from anyone, please let me know :) they have lots of stuff here lol

We're going to a crocodile farm this afternoon for Caro's bday :) I'm super stoked.

Have an amazing day everyone!! Love you all!

xoxo

  1. Hi Dad, Thank you for the wishes as well as the gift, its a nice one, and very handy. Today it was a good father day. I played recreational for the love gives and our team (Thunders won the trophy), so it was fun and the amazing thing was that we never played with each other as a team and we never practiced before the game, only myself and Pete. Well, have fun and take care for yourself. Keep me posted with the community and fund raising activities. I might be able to help with some ideas. Have fun, love you
