Day 2 workshop with Zambian families

Day 2 By Allison Tamte 7/23/12 Today, we got the opportunity to spend the day with Zambians. Each couple got a Zambian family to talk with and discuss hopes/dreams for our families. We each got a partner to get to know and connect with. Some common dreams parents had for their kids were for their children to go to college and to always look up to God. Some common dreams kids had for their parents were their parents health and happiness for what they are doing. At lunch, they served us a grit like substance called nshima, chicken, and vegetables. We had to eat the whole meal with our hands and roll the nshima in a ball, dip it in sauce, and pop it in our mouths. After lunch we got to sing popular Zambian songs and popular American songs. After we had a fun time dancing and learning new songs, we heard Julie and johns touching faith stories. Finally, at the end, we got to make a pillow for our partner and write encouraging or inspiroring words on it. We learned how similar we all can be no matter where we are from. What a successful day!
