home stays!

The students just left for their two day home stays in the surrounding villages with MIAM employees.  Most were a mixture of excited, nervous, and overwhelmed to be heading out two by two to experience "real" Zambian living!  But they all had wonderful attitudes as they went! They will quite obviously be out of internet range until Sunday night, so fear not, friends and family, if you do not hear from them for the next few days!  Rest assured they will be very well cared for (pampered even, by Zambian standards!) and, if troubles arise, Dr. Mylin and I will be the first to know!

Here are the students as they left with their hosts for the weekend:

Alicia B., Kay, and their hostess Patricia

Chelsea, Alicia S., and their hostess Edith

Hallie, Ashley, and their hostess Flora

Marlaina, Tamara, and their host Gift

Malina, Jennie and their host Petros

Merrion, Naomi and their host Bright

Sarah, Liz, and their host Nervis

Sharon, Alex, and their hostess Noreen

Tiara, Laura, and their host Stembridge

Kenny, Brandon, Andy and their host Ivan

Keep them in your prayers this weekend!  I'm sure the students will be bursting with stories to tell when they return on Sunday afternoon, and I'm sure we'll all looking forward to hearing them!  I will keep posting a blog a day while they are gone and will take the opportunity to show you some of the other sights around the village!
