Visit to the Crocodile Farm in Livingstone with the Shurmann's

Good friends Angie and Jacob Shurmann visited me in Zambia this week.  It was a fun time filled with abit of sight seeing, long constructive conversations and good food.  One of the sights we went to was the croc farm in Livingstone, this is my third year here and it was my first visit so I was just as excited to have a look around.

This is an albino croc, not very common




Crocodiles have no tongues!
The guide was brave


Dinner is served

And they just fight for it

Under 5 clinic in Kamwi Village including a teaching on Asthma Prevention

We helped with a clinic in the village of Kamwi.  63 children showed up with moms to be vaccinated for BCG, measels, some got polio drops and moms were able to receive birth control. The Mukuni clinical officer did a teaching on the prevention and cure of Asthma.
This is the weigh scale we attached to the tree for the babies to be weighed


I got to write the details in all their clinic cards.

Under 5 clinic in Ngandu Village

Yesterday we helped with a under 5 clinic in Ngandu Village, mom's came with their babies all bundled up in warm blankets and crocheted outfits, the mornings are getting bit cooler here Praise the Lord.  As time passed sleeping babies turned to screaming babies.  It is always fun to chat with the mom's about their babies and also to hold the babies and play with them.
