in kabwe again. can't remember exactly when i last posted. after kamatipa. before kalalushi... i think. only 5 mins left on computer so must hurry. kalalushi was where we stayed three nights ago now. we went out to the middle of no where - even by african standards - to visit a mill. plan A was to stay the night there. fortunatly we'd already reverted to plan B before we arrived - that was to stay at Oliver and Emely's in Kalalushi. I don't even know the name of the place with the maize mill. but basically it's an economic disaster. and no one's quite sure what to do. plenty of ppl pour money into africa. doesn't seem to help much. probalby cause much of that money ends up in the pockets of ppl who need it like they need a bullet in the head. 25% of world vision money doesn't leave nz apparently. and at least that much again gets spent before it gets to the villages and families. could be rumours.

anyway, 2 minutes, enough rant.

back to oliver and emely's for nshima and feasting. then rather than the bed roll i'd been dreading we got to share beds. someone else was missin their bed but i was releived. have to go.
