Africa-Arrival and Adjustment

Our journey to Ndola, Zambia was smooth and uneventful and we arrived at the Teen Missions base in Zambia safely. It took us several days to prepare to leave the base for our project. We organized our food, reorganized our bags, and were ready to head out. Our plan was to visit three different AIDS orphans Rescue Units; Lunsala, Mumena, and Solwezi. We planned to spend five days at each unit, Lunsala being the first five hours away from the base. Little did we know how different we would be when we returned to the base and in what circumstances we would return.
