Progress

Things are taking a turn for the better. The clinic project is 100% complete. It was inspected two weeks ago by the Ministry of Health building inspector and after adding a couple additional support poles and wheel chair access it passed the inspection. I'm still not sure why it needs wheelchair access since I've never seen a wheelchair in Mwinilunga and maybe two in all of Zambia, but I guess its planning ahead. An opening has been arranged with the Ministry of Health and the District Commissioner, but we haven't agreed on a final date. Currently medicine is being shared from the main clinic 15 km down the road. The village presented me with a goat and a chicken to thank me for the work on the clinic. I wish I could share the goat and nshima with everybody who helped make the project possible!

Fish farming has also been going surprisingly well and seven ponds have been dug in two months. This past week I brought out over 2000 bream fingerlings to be stocked in the ponds.
