Fourth day : Wednesday 22.07






Fourth day : Wednesday 22.07
A long day !
I've been to Kabanana another big slum in Lusaka and attended a saving scheme meeting ! People are really doing a good job, they save about 10 cents a day

(500 Kawasha) and they apply for loans to help them upgrading their lives. What I find wonderful is that each saving scheme decide on their own selves the upgrade they need.

today I went to a typical Zambian Restaurant (The Queen's Calabash) and I tried some Zambian food . '
According to Melanie's Description they were :
Steak on Bone
Fisashi (Vegetables in Peanut Sauce)
Delele ( Okra cooking in bicarbonate of Soda & Tomato)
Nshima (Staple food made from maize meal)

they don't use any tools you've got to use ur hands and the bread is not really bread !! its like a white paste (nshima)..I'm not sure whether i enjoyed the meal or the experience but I'm sure there's something I liked there !

Different Evening !
Abouna Abraham from the coptic church in Zambia reached my number and called me asking if i'd like to go there this evening and meet him. I took a taxi from villa elizabeth to naorthmead for 20 000 Kawacha and I met abouna with some Egyptians working in the coptic hospital and school in Lusaka ! I had nice time there.

I should be traveling soon to Kitwe or Livingston with the people's process not sure though when exactly !
