What if there were no toilets?
'International Toilet Day' is a very important day, because one in ten people in the global community still have to defecate in the open. Going without access to a safe, clean toilet is serious indeed.
The Zambian Army has just been deployed due to a Cholera epidemic affecting the entire country. As a result, no one really knows when public schools will re-open. However, with your support, we have done all we can. Just before the holidays, we completed our eighth toilet in Munyanya Village.

Thirty Basketballs, Two Coaches and ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN!
Happy Holidays from Livingstone, Zambia—the home of Victoria Falls. Near the Zambezi River, over 100 children came to play basketball. Kristen Jacob, from Lexington, Kentucky, along with Gorrette Mwape, one of our local students, taught the fundamentals of basketball to our children from the villages. The daily temperature was around 100 degrees (F), and training lasted four to five hours. One day was rained out, so Kristen helped build a toilet in Munyanya Village.
