zOMG Zambia! by Mitra L. '07

So Development Lab (D-Lab), one of my classes this term, announced who is going on which trip this January. I got my first choice country, and will be spending Independent Activities Period (IAP) in Zambia!

We will be working with community partners like the following:

UNZA – University of Zambia
Disacare – wheelchair center
IDE – International Development Enterprises
Nyimba district offices

Here are some pictures from last year’s trip

    Thanks for visiting the heart of Africa(Zambia). The declared christian state.

    You should come and teach the youths more on the engineering skills.
