Drew's African Odyssey - Mwange Refugee Camp, Zambia

A new PC with Right to Play has finally arrived in the other project location in Kawambwa, where another 25000 refugees reside. He is another guy from Calgary, named Kevin, who I know quite well as we did some work together for Right to Play in Calgary and we attended the same training session in Toronto before our placements. Kevin was selected for the position in Kala after the guy that was originally chosen for the position (who I also knew very well as he was my roommate in Toronto) got cold feet when he arrived in Lusaka and quit after his 3rd day in Zambia – go figure… Kevin will be in Kala for the next year, but is at a disadvantage because he doesn’t speak French. It’s going to take him that much longer to adapt to the work here.

I’m excited because my parents and sister sent a big package with him that he’ll hopefully give me next time I see him!
