Communities Without Borders Summer Trip 2017

Leaving Boston on June 28 for the annual CWB trip to Lusaka, Zambia. Overnight in Dubai seeing the 163 story Burj Khalifa apartment tower and the Burj al Arab Jumeirah lit up at night. Then arriving in Lusaka on 6/30 to be met by our wonderful hosts. Our group: Dick Bail, Robin Kutner, Betty Stone, Lynn Perry, Rick Moriarty, Nazaneen Shokri, Toni Tasker, and Meg Jackson We are in Lusaka, Zambia!

We've arrived!  Exhausting long hours of flying, but the service was very nice on Emirates. Now we are confortably ensconced at the Kalyangile Guest House.  Great meal and comfortable accomodations.  Weather is just beautiful.  Tomorrow we will have a planning session for Days for Girls at Living Hope and an actual teaching session at Sekelela in the afternoon.

Members of First Parish participated in a Day of Service Over 100 gift bags were put together for CWB to bring with them  and hand out to those students we support who passed their 7th, 9th, or 12th grade exams. Many thanks for your hard work!

Toni Tasker, a member of First Parish, helping to organize the supplies to pack in the suitcases What a successful, exhausting day! Communities Without Borders is so lucky to have such a dedicated group of individuals traveling to Zambia this summer. The group worked together to pack 14 suitcases. We truly appreciate all those who collected and donated items. They will be so appreciated this summer. We had a surplus of supplies and will be saving some of them for next year. Many thanks for all the contributions! The following were some of the supplies that got packed: Bedsheets School Supplies Toothbrushes and toothpaste Books Days for Girls Kits
