The Market: It was filled with everything and anything you could imagine - fake Rolex's, fake sunglasses, fake phones and fake iPads, but it wasn't all bootleg gear! It was full of truly amazing home-made crafts which as soon as they saw us coming knew they could charge an arm and a leg for but nothing a good bartering couldn't sort out.
Home Visits: Really did hit home with many of us about the reality of the situation for the large majority of Zambia, simply the quality of the water, the amount of people living under one room, the building materials and their lack of simple living essentials. But yet the happiness they have for what they do own is far greater than anyone back home.
Church: Visiting the church was nothing like I was expecting, it was alive with jaw dropping singing and pure enthusiasm for what they believe in, an experience I will never forget.
Painting: Has killed me. Edging, rolling, edging, rolling and guess what? more edging and rolling. However the faces on the children and seeing their sheer delight kept me going despite the aching muscles.
