Copperbelt Museum, DST Centennial and AFCON

I got a chance to go to the Copperbelt Museum with one of my Sorority sisters. I have to also mention that we celebrated 100 years of service, scholarship and sisterhood on the 13th of January 2013 (OO-OOP DST)! Amber and I went out on the town in Lusaka, and had a great dinner. 

I must say I enjoyed the Copperbelt Museum. It gives a brief, yet thorough, history of the Copperbelt. Zambia is rich in terms of soil fertility  gems, metals and natural resources. It's just a matter of putting it all in the right hands. 

My Copper Map of Africa! Officially on African time!

If you look closely you can see some body marks under the Bemba woman's necklace. 

Scary...

six of our clinics are in Luanshya

fifteen of our clinics are in Chingola

eighteen of our clinics are in Kitwe

Ndola is where I've been living the past seven months! We have 12 clinics here, and there's a photo of Chipulukusu a little further down. Ndola's known for it's water. It's interesting that's it's also in the meaning of the name! South Africa's Castle breweries is down the road, and the Castle brewed here has won a number of awards because of the Ndola water.

One of our 50 clinics; Chipulukusu in Ndola (RZHRG does couples voluntary counseling and testing on the weekends). Amber, Naeemah and I were able to get a tour of the clinic, which I found very helpful! The nurse counselor said that they deliver about 75 babies every month. A lot of hard work and dedication goes into this clinic. There a lab on site, an ARV clinic on site and a physician who sees patients non-stop throughout the day. 

We all went to the "Swimming Pool" Bar in Ndola (decked out in our Zambia jerseys) to watch the first Zambia match in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). We played Ethiopia (Score 1:1). We made the first goal, and the patron above was dancing for a few minutes in front of the TV.
