Muji Byeppi,
Or hello in our new launguage. As you all know we have been in Zambia for over 3 weeks now, and everyhting is going good. We are in PST which is pre service training, and that kind of sucks, because it is 8 hours of school everyday. It will all be worth it when wer get to our village. We talked to the couple that has been living in our future home and they told us all kinds of great things about our village. We will be living 7 K out side of a town called Kasempa (look it up on Google earth.) The other couple did education, but they said that there was a lot of interest in the agriculture programs that we will be doing. We are super excited. They started some projects which I hope to keep going. One of which is teaching the women to can and preserve food, Which helps both with food security and income generation. So if you have any canning recipies that use tropical fruit send them my way. Also they grow a lot of okra and I would love to teach them to pickle that so somebody do some reasearch and send it to me( if you have time,) I would greatly appreciate it. Mom,.If you have any resources on can that could be easily mailed could you send them. There are no books that I know of that the PC provides.
So much is going on, but I only have a few miniutes. So that is all I will write now. We should have email access every few weeks so you can email. Also we do have a phone that we turn on on sundays if any one would like to call the # is 0976614162 (you will have to look up the country code)
Peace,
Ashlee
