[Sophie and I went to Zambia last week - here are her notes, and then a lot of pictures. The next three weeks are crazy for us - Hopefully, everything will come together for Olivet's projects in Gambella - more later.]
My father and I went to go visit The Nelson’s in Zambia last week. It was a short and fun three days. I have known the Nelson family since I was eight years old. I am drawn towards their children. They have three kids who have Down syndrome. When I go to college I want to learn special education because the nelsons have done so much with helping people with special needs. I have learned so much from them that I want special education to be my major in college. Zambia was very different from Addis. Zambia was very green and not polluted. Many people In Zambia are very dark skinned. I had a very good time with my dad and the nelson family. I had the best sleep of my whole time being in Africa. I really like that Ms. Nelson can cook. My mom can cook but not like Ms. Nelson. It’s funny that both families are living in Africa.
