In 2021, despite COVID restrictions imposed in Zambia, the three students we currently sponsor in Nursing College are nearly complete with their studies. Collins begins his third and final year in January 2022. Mary and Memory began their first year of nursing studies in May 2021. Fees for the next year are due in April. All three are doing outstanding work. Each should be able to find good jobs after they complete school.

Kapoma School was dedicated 10 years ago, and repairs are in order. In fact, they have already begun: windows have been replaced, floors refinished, an outside wall re-plastered, and the school painted. See the photos of the updated school below!

We are investigating the cost of repairing the other old block of three classrooms, which has very narrow windows that admit little light. Older students still meet there, and unfortunately the government has made no improvements. However, following the repair the the new block, the government did sent nice office chairs for the teachers, and promised 5 desktop computers — although they are still waiting to be connected to electric power. Progress, if still slow!
