Zambia

A bit different from Scotland !

For the past 18 months I've been helping to 'train' a group of young people from the Scottish Borders to go on a five week expedition to Zambia this summer. They guys selected have been through quite a learning curve over the past 18 months or so, and tonight sees the expedition start. The advance party departs the UK tonight a few days before the main group leave on July 4th. It's great to see a lot of hard work by a lot of people culminate in achieving it's objective. The main focus of the trip is community work, with elements of social, environmental, and scientific work thrown in for good measure.
