Some Photos

My 5 weeks of training seem to have flown by in a blur. I shall not bore you with the details, but here are some photos of our goings-on’s for the past several weeks . . .


Photo #1: “Question and Answer” session with George Roter and Parker Mitchell, EWB’s Co-CEOs, back at our training house.



Photo #2: EWB OVS Summer ‘07


Photo #3: My farewell dinner at my parent’s place a mere few hours before departure. My dad made his specialty: vegetarian lasagne. It was deeeeelish! Featured in the photo from left to right are Erin Jones, Mike Weaver, Grandma, Christa Olie, Me, and Laura Banducci. If you’re wondering where my boyfriend Mike Maier was, he left earlier that morning for a wedding in Mexico.


Photo #4: Doing yoga (a theme for my group) in a public space in Amsterdam during our several hour long stop over.


Photo #5: Many many hours later, we finally touched down in Lusaka, Zambia.


Photo #6: Me chatting with some ladies during a scavenger hunt in an area outside of central Lusaka.


Photo #7: A session on integration with Jenn Dysart (an OVS based out Monzi, Zambia) and beautiful “Mutinta” (her boyfriend Slady).


Photo #8: Dave teaching us how to cook like a Zambian!


Photo #9: Dave running a session on the front porch of a dorm in our Lusaka Hostel


Photo #10: Spectacle!! Motorbike lessons in a busy school yard in Lusaka. The photo does not adequately capture the sheer number of children running around and kicking footballs with reckless abandon, which little regard to the fact that there were 2 motorbikes speeding around.

so glad you put pictures up already!! who took the pic of you guys doing yoga? some unsuspecting dutchperson?
i love the "wreckless abandon" comment. both funny and very literary at the same time. i'm glad you managed not to hit the kids!
