Who is visiting Zambia?

“I’ll take International Visitors for $100 please, Alex.”

“The answer is : Visitors to Lusaka in June, 2007”

“Who are: Alex Trebek, Laura Bush, Chris and Katrina Shore and Vince, Stacey, Madison and Carter Boschman.”

"That is correct!"

What a busy week for Lusaka! Our first guests were John’s cousin Chris and his daughter Katrina from California. We enjoyed having dinner with them at our house on Monday night and then at their hotel on Wednesday night. Chris is with World Vision and brought Katrina along to see some of the projects in the area and they will also be visiting Tanzania. We saw plenty of security at their hotel because Laura Bush (first lady of the U.S.A.) is also in town because of her involvement with malaria and HIV/AIDS prevention.

While waiting and waiting for Vince (Charlene’s brother) and Stacey and Madison and Carter, who should come walking out but Alex Trebek (host of TV’s Jeopardy and spokesperson for World Vision)!

It was great to see everyone but only 80% of Vince and Stacey’s luggage arrived. 80% might sound like a lot unless it is your suitcase that didn’t make it. Fortunately for us, all of our goodies arrived from home and we’ve had fun going through it all. We'll have to post a picture of their family soon but Stacey is out shopping for some new clothes.



Speaking of percentages, we are very proud of Danica for achieving an award for academic excellence in her studies in Year 7 at the International School of Lusaka.
