Jona finished his job at Henry Cort school yesterday! It's all starting to feel more real now. I only have 2 weeks left at my job too and then we have lots of family and friends visits to make!
Jona has nearly finished all his vaccinations and we have FINALLY (after a lot of hassle) sent off the documents for our visa's. Now we're praying it is all processed smoothly.
Although we are feeling a bit jittery about it all, we have had a lot of encouragement from friends and wise words from wise people. lol. Although it's scary we know we are doing the right thing :-)
About Me
- More info:
- We have recently applied and been successful in getting jobs at 'Amano Christian' School in Chingola, Zambia. Since getting married we have been praying about the possibility of working abroad and we now feel the timing and opportunity is right. So what will we be doing? Jona is going to be teaching science and Kerry is going to be doing youth work amongst girls in the dorms. We will be leaving in September. We would love for you to keep up to date with what we're up to!

Flights!
We have now booked our flights! No changing our minds now. lol.
We will be flying from Heathrow to Lusaka (zambia) on Tues 27th September. Woop!
Fundraising is well on its way now but we still need to raise quite a bit (haven't been able to talk Jona into a half marathon yet!).

Meeting Hilary!
We went to a church in Poole this morning where the headmistress of the primary school (Hilary) in Zambia was doing a talk about Amano Christian School and an update on their work!
It was amazing to see pictures and hear more about what the school is doing and how it is developing.
We met with Hilary for lunch and had the opportunity to ask lots more questions about what we will be doing etc. We were also able to ask about accomodation. It seems that we will hopefully be able to live in a flat which is either attached to the boys dorm or the girls dorm. It would be a self contained flat so we can have our own space. It seems a lot more tricky to get a car/driving license then we realised but she said after a while we could possibly put our bicycles on a container from the UK to Zambia.
We're both feeling very excited about it all :-)

The Adventure Begins!
Crazy hecticness of moving countries finally begins!
I told the residents at my work today that I will be leaving in August :-( Pretty tough!
Jona started his course of Heb A&B today and we need to get some quotes on anti malarials! Any tips anyone for which anti malarials to go for?
We also got some generous donations in the last few days from lovely lovely people! Thank you :-)
We are going to meet Hilary, the head mistress of the primary school in Zambia on Sunday (she is visitng the UK at the mo). Be good to ask more questions about the school and accomodation etc.
Exciting times :-)
