"I am a part of all that I have met; yet all experience is an arch wherethro' gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move."

Orphan?

This afternoon, a man came to the door with a child of about 10. He said that the boy was an orphan and wanted us to take the child. There is a process here and we set the process in motion only to discover that the man was a frequent case and was looking for some way to get money. It was so disturbing to see the child and we wonder where the child came from. We often take orphans but this one wasn't legit. The experience was a hard one for us.

Classes and paperwork today! We are planning for our last week and a half here in Zambia. It seems hard to believe. What an experience. The power was off again tonight. There was a game of Apples to Apples going along with another game of Risk. Ellie decided we needed popcorn and made it over a butane tank. It was great fun. David stayed for supper and the games and then Ian and I drove him home. It sure is dark in the middle of Africa at night!
