Tuesday, June 26th


Dear Families,
To tell the truth we are all exhausted. The week has been incredibly busy already and there has been hardly any down time to rest.  Reed has been feeling a bit under the weather (but Andrea don’t worry she is doing fine and her condition is improving). Jack hurt his back scissor slide tackling Sam and is enduring some well deserved back pain. Unfortunately we are all going to have to wait to the safari  (4 days) for some time of relaxation.
Now we’ll talk about the exciting news.  Today we waited an hour for our bus because of a communication between bus drivers. Then we went to Munali High School and started our laptop training sessions. We did a couple of ice-breakers with the student monitors (similar to student facilitators at SAAS) and then we shared power points that we had worked on together as a group.  Carly and Reed did a Native Animals PowerPoint, Sam, Gigi, and Josie talked about the Olympics, and Emma and Izzy shared information about the extracurricular activities found at SAAS. The power points by the monitors at Munali consisted of information about Zambian customs, tourism, and the recent championship at the African Cup of Nations. Finally Mercy taught the students about the correct ways to “baby a laptop.” All in all it was a decent day and we are looking forward to wake up at 6:00 tomorrow morning…NOT!
Shout out to the Godes, Barwicks, and Charlotte Leblond.
Love,
A very tired and grumpy Jack and an extremely attractive Carly
