United Youth Corps--ZAMBIA



On June 3, two UYCorps volunteers and myself will be headed off to Zambia in southern Africa. We have been invited by the pastor, Mr. Kambani Banda, to come to assist with teaching remedial English language classes AND basic computer skills. Kristine McNeely of Arlington, TX will be teaching English at the Church property outside Lusaka, Zambia. Zachery Zimmerman will be our basic computer skills teacher for the classes. We expect about 60 adult members from the rural areas of Zambia to come for the English classes...and about 12 or so young adults to come for the computer skills classes.

All of the classes will be held at the UCG Church property about 30 km outside of Lusaka for the 5 days of June 7-11.

Mr-s. Banda will be hosting our group--and we are grateful for the opportunity to meet our brethren and hopefully serve them by offering the classes.
