We began the day with a whole school assembly around the flagpole.  The students led us in prayer and then the Head of school, Mr. Hyanga, spoke to the students about what he has been noticing -sort of like our Whole School Meetings....Then we were off to teach again.                                                                                                                                                            

                                          

 Today part of the learning was cookery....the teacher below was teaching the class. and us, how to make Shima (or sometimes called neshima), which is a staple food for Zambia...Shima is eaten almost everyday at lunch and dinner.  It is made up of Mais like flour, Kapenta-small fish, oil,onions,cabbage and tomatoes!

 We all had a turn at stirring...not as easy at it looks!
 

                                                        Small fish...kind of like sardines

                                                                onions,cabbage and tomatoes

                       Mixed together and then served with the Mais meal.... all of which you eat  with your fingers.....

Christine tried to smile, but had problems eating the fish....
                                   

Prue didn't even fake the smile...she didn't mind the fish, but had problems eating with her hands...

 And of course Maria licked her plate clean....yum, yum!

  Food has been somewhat of an issue...but we are being resourceful..... 

Although we did enjoy a stir-fry meal  one afternoon                                         

And Christine also enjoyed a T-bone Steak

We have been relying on Peanut butter and jelly and making our own aperitivo of cheese and crackers!

  We would love some fresh fruit and vegetables, but have been told to stay away....hard to resist when they are all around us!!

We are off to Victoria Falls this weekend and hope to do a mini-safari in Chobe in Botswana!
....As Twaamba says in the video below.....Ciao!  Will post soon!
