The previous evening, Thursday, April 14, Eleanor and Ray hosted Andy and Wayne at a potluck supper and invited the Zambia 2010 and 2011 Workteams to meet them and hear more about what's been happening recently at the Lifesong School for Orphans in Kitwe, Zambia. After dinner and a time of fellowship, Andy and Wayne gave a very informative presentation on all of the recent news from the school, with video and photos.

They they told of how the school's garden plots were thriving, producing enough food not only for the two meals a day for all the 200+ children at the school, but also how the gardens provide employment for local people, and the produce is sold at a local market. The new extension housing four classrooms, including the computer lab, is constructed, and awaiting final touches such as painting, a possible project for our team's visit in July.
The team was so encouraged to hear of all the good news from the school, and excited to go in July to see for themselves, and know that they will be part of the good work being done there. You can read more about the story of Lifesong for Orphans on their web page.
