Six days and Zambia here I come!

18Th of November at 12.15.

It is now Tuesday and next week Monday I am on my way. My plane till London will depart at 14.05 from Helsinki-Vantaa airport. I will be in Lusaka 25Th of November at 6.35am.
Till now I am almost ready to go. Some general issues I have to take care still (like packing). Visa and plane tickets have been taking care of and also needed injections and malaria-medicines.

Something about my program in Zambia. Like some of you know I am going there to monitor an development co-operation project which our Student Union have there in 5 villages in Central Province in Zambia. It is a three years project which is funded by Foreign Ministry. It´s mandatory to evaluate every year and this is the first time for it.
I am going to stay at Emmanuel´s place (who is manager of the local co-operational partner) in Lusaka.
My planned program is:
25-26.11 in Lusaka, getting familiar with host family and GLM (Green Living Movement)
27-30.11 in Chibob project village. Getting to know the project and interviewing farmers
1-5.12 in Lusaka GLM office. Helping with computer issues.
6-10.12 Visit to Livingstone and Victoria Falls!
11.12 Leaving from Zambia and heading back to Turku.

I have many things to do there and I know that I am going to get life lasting expriences from it!
Through this blog I want to share my adventures with you and do my best to post some pictures too!
