So there was 2 Americans (Chrissy and Sarah) who were living with me in the house I am staying at and had been out here in Zambia for 6 weeks before I arrived and left last sunday (I miss them a lot already) but I managed to borrow a cable off of one of them which allowed me to upload some of the photos I have been taking on my DSLR while I am waiting for my card reader to arrive (I spend the rest of my time working, in the office or juggling oranges, there is a lot of oranges to juggle). These photos are from my first few days in Lusaka, Zambia - apart from A New Pair of Shoes which was taken last friday at the leaving games of Dwayne who was working for Sport In Action and had given out 80 pairs of trainers to kids who he had been teaching football for 2 months.
African Sunset
(The view from the water tower at the house I am staying at which is in Chilenje South, a 2 mile walk from where I work in Kabwata)
Wares in a Wheelbarrow
(a man walking past the house with the wares of his stall this is the road next to the house)
New Shoes
(A local child receives a new pair of shoes (well, a new pair of second-hand shoes) from Dwayne at his leaving session. The area around him is the football pitch that they play on everyday on the far side is a main road and behind where I took this photo from is Bush and rubbish that has just been dumped)
Rice Sold Here
(Nakonde Rice is a special type of rice that smells really good and has a very distinctive flavour, this woman wants some apparently as I was just watching people walk down the road she walked past, saw the sign and came back around)
Welcome to the Neighborhood
(this is the road leading away from the main road through Chilenje South, this is quite a good quality road for the area. High fence and walls a must have around here, most with smashed bottles or electric fences around the top. The house I am staying in has an electric fence which runs straight from the mains with nothing to make the voltage smaller, if you get shocked - you die. Its a Zambian thing....)
