We had the chance to visit a 'village' about 90 minutes out from Lusaka. The husband/father of the home we used for the 'Big House' - was the 'chief' of this village - and his mother still resided there. He would drive out on Saturday's take care of business and visit - then return back to Lusaka later that day.
The village was fairly flat - some trees and tall grass - a bit of a breese. It did not have power and no running water. They did have huts - made from clay/dirt blocks - and thatched roofs. While we were there the team did health assessments of most in the village; took a better part of the days. While some of us were helping with the assessments in various capacities - the rest of us played with the kids. We would rotate thru some of the 'jobs' to get a change.
