We now have internet access in the house again. (At least for now) This is after quite some time when either the electricity was off for the village and/or the signal to our house was such that we had to walk down the path toward the Mission Hospital to our "favorite tree" where a wireless signal could be received. So, what we would do is compose e-mails at home and then take the stroll to send and hopefully receive new e-mails. We checked cables, climbed on the roof to check the receiver, and said "this is Africa". But this morning, 31 March, the connection is available.

The Web-site has only had updates because Greg took the time to keep you all informed.

Back in the beginning of March the school had their "Commonwealth Day" observance. With Zambia having been a British Colony, Zambia is now part of the "Commonwealth of Nations". There are two countries of the "Commonwealth" represented at MICS (Zambia and Zimbabwe). But all of the students coloured the flags of their country (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Netherlands, and USA) and the flag of our "Host Country". The children also dressed in the "native dress" of their country and brought artifacts common to their country. It was a good start of a tradition at MICS. The pictures that were taken have been lost in cyberspace. Sorry!!
