Graduation Zambia






We did not sleep last night, so we were very tired at the beginning of the day. However, as we pushed ahead in meetings and service we were greatly encouraged and energized by the staff and nationals.



We participated in a graduation of men who had trained for 2 weeks in "Hyrdroform" brick making. These men lived in the local area but now have learned a trade for the region. They each received a diploma, hand shake, and a copy of their test grades. Afterwards we shared a traditional Zambian meal. There are over 130 of these machines in Zambia and 800 men trained to date.


We fly out early in the morning to visit a Flying Mission base in Macha, Zambia which is currently serving a 208 bed rural hospital, a malaria institute, and a vision community center.
