October Letter from Zambia with photos

We just got an email update from Mukonchi Mission. Here is a translated excerpt from the letter, along with some of the photos we received:

Pani Alicjo,
Greetings from sweltering Zambia. I received the emails you sent. . . . I'm sorry that I was not able to respond very quickly. In Zambia the situation with the electricity and communications is horrible . . . . today I am in Kabwe, at an internet cafe and I'm trying to send some (photos).

...On the topic of the most pressing needs at the Mukonchi mission at the present time, I will just sketch them out quickly:

a) The launch, at the beginning of the coming year, of a six-month course in sewing and carpentry for young people (purchase of needed materials and basic tools, as well as compensation for two instructors).

b) Fr. Maciek is dreaming of building fields for basketball and volleyball - for youth sports

c) renovation of the preschool (painting), necessary equipment, and a playground for the kids, compensation for the preschool teachers.

d) Building of several quarters (booths) to serve as toilets (WC), washrooms, and changing rooms. What is needed is some place where the youth, after sporting activities, could at least wash off a bit....

Z Bogiem
