Today's Lecture

Today we attended a lecture presented by a professor at the university in Lusaka. He lectured on community planning in Zambia. If I had to give you only one point that meant the most to me it would be the following: Change is hard for all of us. If we are to be agents of change, the community must own the change. We can not build a school and give it to them. We can not be the boss, we must be equals. We must work along side them in building the school. Sometimes it means helping them learn how to take care of chickens so they can build the school themselves. This brings dignity.
