Today (Friday) is my last day working for YDF in the Chipata office. Its gone so quickly!!
The young volunters gave me a wonderful farewell party yesterday with lots of singing, dancing and speeches ...I'll never forget it.
Tomorrow we are hosting a party at our house. It's a double celebration; Alan's birthday and give me a send-off! In such a short while, I have met very many lovely people ....it should be a good party! I'll have to practice moderation in alcohol intake as, 7am Sunday morning, I shall be accompanying the mail on the Post Bus to Lusaka. Monday, I will be representing YDF and greeting 10 UK students who are arriving to take part in a 2 month Global Exchange visit - their Zambian counterparts, who been staying in Swansea for the past two months, will be arriving back with them.
Then, THAT IS THE END OF MY VSO PLACEMENT!!!!
Just enough time for me to travel down to Livingstone for a few days to see the famous Victoria Falls before travelling back to Lusaka to fly HOME on Saturday!
Very mixed emotions.... as much as I am looking forward to being home with my loved ones, I am not looking forward to saying goodbye to beautiful Zambia.

Hi!!
ReplyDeleteAh!!
The VSO time is coming to an end - but I don't want these blogs to end!! I'm enjoying them a great deal.
I'm so glad you had a good send off from the work volunteers - that was nice - hope you have some pics of everyone dancing!!
So party tonight? I'm sure you''ll have a great time but it will be sad leaving all those friends you've made there.
So then back to Lusaka and you'll be almost home!! Oh yes, I forgot visiting Victoria Falls, near Livingstone I presume?!! Fantastic!! Have a really great time there! I'm very envious!!
Take care!
