My mother and sister volunteer in Zambia, organizing a number of initiatives in rural areas -- income-generating businesses, support to schools, scholarships for students, and other community projects. I've been helping them with a new website for Malambo Grassroots (our new name).
The site includes a blog, so I post messages when I can. Unfortunately, I can't maintain two blogs at once, so this one is getting neglected!
The photo above is of my sister with Miriam, a grandmother who is raising four of her orphaned grandchildren. Malambo Grassroots helped to rebuild her house, which was too small and had a leaking roof.
Yay Malambo!
ReplyDeleteAfter my kids all leave for college, I can see myself in Africa doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteWill take a look at the new web site.
