Arrival in Ndola, Zambia

We had an early start out of J'burg to catch a flight ot Ndola. Had a short delay due to plane issues but then were off on our 2 hour 15 min. ride to Zambia. The airport was quite small but all our baggage made it and we were out of the airport with everything in a very short amount of time.

We were met by the whole board of Wiphan and some others and were driven to our hotel...the Castlelodge. Then we loaded straight up to go to the first of 2 Wiphan complexes. When we arrived we were greeted from down the road by a long line of the widows all waving flowers and singing praise songs. They followed our bus in and sang as we got off the bus. A class of the younger children were all there as well, off to the side, quiet, but smiling and waving.

When we greeted the children they were encouraged to sing a song for us which they did. I have this all on video...it was awesome. If I can figure out how and this slow connection will load it, I'll get it on the blog.....if not we'll figure it out when I get home.

I am 2 days behind so trying to catch up....we have to head out so I will try to continue to catch up when we return!
