This is a fairly traditional shirt. One that I have had for a number of years. My life has changed dramatically as a result of my relationship to Zambia. I have contact with friends there most days.
The drought this past rainy season has had a huge impact. Not only is food , particularly maize, more expensive but it has been very difficult to buy in any quantity. I heard today that Our Lady of the Wayside Church in Monze has just managed to aquire 50 bags of maize from the Zambian Food Reserve Agency – this has taken many months to arrange. The food will be distributed to the most vulnerable parishioners.
PIZZ school also had a challenge to acquire maize to provide school meals for the children – all students get a free meal each day when they at school. Eventually the supply of maize was also agreed by the Food Reserve Agency. It costs about £15 to provide daily school meals for a child for a year! Of course with 600 children that adds up!
