More from Chibobo trip.

29.11 Chibobo

Saturday we did one farmer visit, but the farmer was not around. So we just looked around the farms and went back to guest premises to have a lunch. I got very nice memory from this nice lady. One Australian volunteer group had made "Support Chibobo" wristbands to raise some money for villager. She had one extra and she gave it to me. Truly life lasting memory. It very make me smile and be happy to see people to feel good, although their condition are poor, even unacceptable from Finnish point of view. James and Alan came to visit us and I really adore that little James! I played some football with him and he told lot´s of things (of course I did not understand, cause he was speaking bemba, but I tried my best). In the evening we went to see local "nightlife". In Chibobo villagers brew their own beer from maize. We went to couple of places where you could buy and drink it. 750ml bottle costs around 1000kwachas (0.2 euros) and I had some villagers with me enjoyinig the last night out.
I learned some more Bemba, Chawama Ukumanana, means nice to meet you. Tomorrow we are heading back to Lusaka.
