Zambia 2008 - tending to unfinished business.


 Lifewater Volunteers (Steve & Marcia) and I left on April 2nd for Zambia to teach latrine construction. This is a followup to the training that Jeff, Darcy & I conducted in July 07.   We had feedback on the first trip that they had really hoped we would construct a  demo latrine, so this trip was scheduled to accomplish that.  There are over 2.6 billion people in this world without adequate sanitation, see what you can do to help -- check http://www.lifewater.org/ We will be teaching three different latrine designs including two that compost the waste. As they say: "Its a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it." On 4/4, we arrived after MANY hours of travel and have begun the task of obtaining materials & supplies.
