I deeply admire you and your wife doing this Colin. Its show exactly leave love and kindness wherever you go❤️ I always think of African children as smiling children. Smiling despite they have almost nothing. Smiling maybe just of pure joy of life?! They seem to have a gratfulness most western kids dont have, adults often the same. We have something to learn from them. Thank you for sharing Colin 🙏🥰
Thank you Tony. Yes, they are smiling a lot and seem happy. They face a lot of hardships that they take in their stride. I don’t think many western kids could deal with what they go through. It is a big lesson in gratitude and presence. We did learn a lot from them, especially over time. Initially we think we have to ‘fix’ them but by the end of trip, we were questioning if in fact, they have a better life than us.
As you know, I have been working a lot over the last 3 years in Zambia to try to help the community where I have been living.
It has been a constant feeling of trying to push boulders uphill alone but in the end, some of the community have joined me and I am overjoyed to know that these initiatives will continue.
That’s a dream come true!
I hope to elaborate on this in my last article from Zambia
We actually sent over 12 laptops in January to the school where we volunteered at. Different to the school in this post. But they will take about 3 months to get there. I think this is their last container so need to find a different method of shipping stuff over in future.
Thank you for checking in Jo-Ann. I appreciate it. I have had a crazy busy week. My work load just seems to be increasing. I think it is some kind of distraction from me trying to do more of what I love. I feel the universe is testing me ;-) But everything is love.
Thank you again and hope your Friday is going well?
Always know, that I’m here if you need me. Just send me a private message if you need to talk. Thank you, so far so good but I need to do banking today, so it’s brainwork this morning. Later on when I’m done, I will let my brain empty (relax) from all the noise of the world. 🙏
Thank you Jo-Ann. I am truly grateful. Please feel free to DM me too if you need anything. I am sure your banking brain will be fine :-) I am looking forward to a session with my Shaman later this evening so that will be good. I feel I have some energy that needs shifting.
So wonderful to read. Colin. Awesome, making a difference… 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏼😊

Well done Colin to you and your group.

Sounds amazing, thanks Helena. I really look forward to reading it. Have you moved yet?
Fly out March 6
I have heard of some charities sending second hand computers to schools in Africa. It would help communities so much to have these resources.

Such a good thing to do.
Thanks Lucy
Such a rewarding experience
Hugely rewarding, thank you Jo-Ann.
Colin, are you doing okay? I haven’t seen you around much. Have a lovely Friday and a joyous weekend!
