Getting Prepared to leave for Zambia

We are down to our last few days before we board our first plane on our journey to Africa. We have all been busy packing our bags — getting our shots — raising our support — and getting mentally and spiritually prepared for the tasks ahead of us. For the last number of weeks we have been getting prepared in a whole different way as well — in a geeky kinda way!

Part of our task for this trip is to take 8 new laptops over to Zambia with us. We have been really busy getting the laptops and software and installing and configuring the computers. Bruce sent me this picture of one of our geek-fest nights — only a true geek would appreciate all the those computers in one place. We got a lot done that night! We had help from Michael Saunders who was part of the team that went over in 2005 to install the original computer lab — he was a great help.

Please remember to keep Team Zambia in your prayers as we fly out the week!
