Chris' Blog - 18 May



Sunday. Sunday Morning with spent with our hosts. For three of us we went to church, with Fran and I (both with the RC of Kalulushi) at the local United Church (Similar to the uniting church in Australia). We both had a meeting with the minister before attending the service. There were at least 3 choirs, so there with lots of singing in the 2 hour service. After a quick lunch, we spent the afternoon visiting a deaf school, the local public hospital including the morgue (we were all glad that we knew Mwangala and could go private), and St Josephs Hospital. (A catholic hospital). Interesting to note that in this hospital there were the normal health advisory posters, including promotion of the use of condoms to prevent aids…. All I can say is that this is modern Catholicism!!

That night we made our presentation to a join meeting of the two clubs at the Sherbourne Guest Lodges, with local cuisine, including the staple Shima (Maize), beetles, local game + some of the more traditional foods.
