Camp Life

12 days ago we left Lusaka and headed east to Petauke. This portion of 40/40 is our bush camp experience. As you can see from the pictures below this is very nice camping, even I can do it for a couple of weeks. During this time the participants do some of the same DFA's(daily field assignments) as they did in Lusaka. This time they are in the boma town and in the village comparing their experiences to their urban time in Lusaka. This has been a great group of participants!

Here are some of our helpers that would go out with the participants into the boma and to the village to help with their DFA's.


Some opted to wash their own clothes so that they could learn this life skill.


Chris Nalls led us in worship each morning.

Spending time with God each day early in the morning is the best way to get your day going on the right track. Here is Tessa in this picture.

This was our home for the last 12 days. Our tent was on the left and the kids tent was to the right. In the middle we had a reed mat and a couple of chairs.


Camp


Each morning the participants have "pouch" which is a bible study.


Their Zambian helpers participate also.


Hannah, Madi, and Sarah enjoying the wagon.


One day we killed a pig and cooked it for dinner. Yum!

This is one of the 3 showers for the women. First we had to pump our water. Then we had to lower this bucket(above) and fill with our water. We then hoisted it up using this pulley system. Then voila, we were able to take a shower.


It was quite hot at camp which also made our drinking water hot. Someone came up with the idea to wrap our water containers with burlap and soak them throughout the day. This helped keep our drinking water a bit cool.

Sarah and Madi with the camp dog, Tiger. Before coming to 40/40 Sarah was very frightened of dogs and other animals. As you can see, she overcame her fear. Praise God!
