Zambia; Tom and Anna's Update

Tom writes;
Dear friends. I am having a great time in Africa. We have been to loads of different schools. The schools have absolutely nothing in the classrooms except tables an chairs. The kids are very poor at reading and English.
We are staying at Grubby's Grotto. Grubby's is nice, the grass is green but the toilets have no hot water!

Hello. I am having a really good time here it's sooooo fun. Our emotions have gone up and down though. The best bit today has been when we held a baby crocodle at the Crocodile farm. It was really cute! The worst bit is the toilets. One of the schools was called Nakatindi, its toilet was a hole in the ground!
In the week we are staying in a campsite called Grubby's Grotto. Grubby has two dogs. One massive one called Cousie and one tiny puppy called Choice. There is no hot water in the bathroom!

We're taking a break frm the campsite this weekend for a bit of R & R. Staying at a backpackers hostel. Back to the site tomorrow to meet two new volunteers. Phoebe, a very adventurous teenager left on Friday to go and work in an orphanage before doing some more travelling around southern Africa. The other volunteers are Marjorie, a Canadian librarian who's great fun. She's done a marvellous job cataloguing everything on the Bus. Jean and Trina are two retired teachers/Ofsted inspectors. Kelly is our new group leader after Jo left. Aswell is the driver. He's so black at night you can only see him when he smiles! He's pleased to have some male company and loves chatting about football with Tom.
More soon. Jim
