Here are Mindy's comments: ok, I have no patience in waiting for these photos to upload on this … slow computer!!! ((I'm asking her to reduce the size so we'll get MORE!)) But at least one or two. Don't even...
Following is an email from Mindy telling of her recent activities. You KNOW she'd love to hear from you. So I moved just about a month ago now ((from one village to another))... and I love it! I’m still in...
KABUTA BASIC SCHOOL LIBRARY PROJECT Reading Books are one of the most important tools for education. They teach, they inspire, they grow and expand the mind. Children and adults alike have much to gain from books. As children learn to...
Here are some pictures of Mindy and her first project. Actually it is the end of the project that the Peace Corps volunteer who was in her village before her started but ran out of time to finish. She was...
As some of you might already know the area where Mindy now lives is not the cleanest and rodents, bugs, etc. are a real problem. If you've viewed the video I've put up on utube you can see that Mindy's...
Sorry that it has been a while since I have posted anything. My new years resolution is to get better at this and keep you informed of what is happening with Mindy in Zambia. To start with I've posted a...

Stef received a letter from Mindy this weekend and Mindy asked that we pass on the following. The italicized text is from Mindy's letter. So about Africa…it is amazing. You are right the people smile so much. It really makes...

We heard from Mindy again and I thought I’d share some interesting items she has been going through. First off the language is more difficult than she thought it would be. When Mindy went to Florence, Italy for her junior...
In the USA Today there is an article about how older people are joining the Peace Corps. It is no longer just an organization for people getting out of college. Can you believe that there is one lady 77 who...
Mindy has now moved into the training phase of her Peace Corp experience. For the next 8 to 9 weeks she is in the remote village of Chongwe, Zambia. As you can see from the Google Earth shot it is...
Muli Kabuto! (or hello) We just got back from our 4 day site visit and stopped by the office before heading out to our host families tomorrow morning. Then, it will be 9 weeks of busy work, learning the language...
