Thousands of kilometers away, we rely on our partners in Zomba
to keep us updated on activities there. The Zomba KIDZ Project
Coordinator, Lois Silo of Chancellor College, regularly sends
us emails and photos to show progress. The frequency of her
correspondence is limited by internet access and connections
and the fact that the site of the project is about a 45 minute
drive over difficult roads, particularly challenging in the
rainy season.
On this side of the world, we recently said
good-bye to Khama Chibwana who successfully completed his
Masters in Early Childhood Development at the University of
Victoria. We congratulate Khama on his achievement and wish
him well in his career, which will recommence at Chancellor
College. We are, however, going to miss him and look forward
to keeping up our friendship and correspondence with him.
Zomba KIDZ has recently finished its first year, with many
accomplishments. To see how funds were used, please click
