Greetings from Zambia!
Having just about survived the 25 hour journey from our door in Leicester to our door in Zambia, and being mistaken for secret drug smugglers at Lusaka airport, we have now settled in to life at Amano.
For the majority of our stay here we will be living with Hilary Millard, the primary headteacher, who has generously offered us her spare room. But it's increasingly looking like we won't be spending much time there as we'll be busy helping in the dorms in the mornings and evenings and teaching during the day. It's going to be a busy couple of months.
A lot has changed since 2010, with new staff, pupils and buildings appearing at the school, which means we have started to build a load of brand new relationships as well as restarting many others.
Today we'll be heading off into town to pick up some Zambian sim cards, and then come back to the school to start our first weekend on duty.
Unfortunately, there is no access to either facebook or twitter while we're out here, so if you want to get in touch with us then you can comment on this blog or drop us an e-mail at:

Have a great weekend!
Matt and Lou
