We had a wonderful half term nearly 2 weeks ago now! We rested, caught up with friends and work. It ended with a fun trip to Chengelo school in Mkushi to watch the secondary boys compete in some friendly matches of rugby. Seeing the sunrise and sunset in one day was spectacular as we travelled the long road there and back; travelling a total of 9 hours!
But it was certainly worth the journey to see the boys give their best and compete in some extremely tense matches. Jon has been helping coach the boys at rugby here and there and was thrilled to see them play! I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought and will definately make an embarrassing Mum one day as I jumped up and down shouting like crazy!
We started the second half of term with some more friendly sports. A visiting school, sakeji, from the northern province came to pay us a visit. They played netball, football and basketball with our students. The games ended with teachers versus some of the older secondary students which was very funny (and very competitive!!). Jon did surprisingly well scoring a few goals, or baskets, whatever they're called!
We are both well and enjoying each moment we have here. I am currently trying to memorise psalm 23 in bemba; 'Lesa ekechema Wandi, shakaka bile nangu chimu, alantwala kumulenfwe kumenshi yabumi'.
