The Copperbelt, Zambia

The last few days have involved some intense travelling and interesting bus journeys but thankfully we have met some fantastic presidents, Rotarians and stayed with some brilliant hosts.

Visited agricultural and commercial show at the showground in Kitwe, this was a busy place full of locals, we enjoyed some wildlife at the reptile zoo and watched some cultural dancing as well as a Kitwe version of JLS (not quite the same though). The majority of the show was for the main agricultural and industrial companies in Zambia to exhibit their products.

Michael Kauzi, president of the Rotary club of Kitwe took the GSE team on tour around the local area including the construction of his new house out in the bush near Kalulushi.

 

A vocational visit specifically for me! We visited Meltcast Engineering and enjoyed a tour through the fabrication workshop, incredibly efficient and organised place. Thanks to Bodwin for the visit.

Visited St. Joseph mission at Kalalushi, a school for the deaf and met by the head teacher Sister charity, this was an incredible place where the children were very well behaved. The school is fully supported by the Rotary club of Kitwe and sister clubs.

 

 

We presented to the Rotary clubs of Kitwe, Kitwe North and Kalulushi at the Moba Hotel, Kitwe and in return they presented the GSE team with the Zambia football team outfits, 2XL must be a different size here as it is a bit tight on our team captain!
