So you go from Europe to Africa thinking about living in the great savannah wilderness with some remote villages around. And you find yourself in the middle of high grass and trees, everything green, just a village house here and there, surrounded by mountains at a few hours distance. But you are working with computers all day.
That’s how our volunteer story in Zambia starts. Mkushi College of Education was started by DAPP to provide teachers for rural areas. Zambia has one of the youngest and fastest growing populations in the world - half of its entire people are 17 years young or younger – and it needs an ever growing number of schools and teachers, especially in its rural areas. The College of Education is placed 10 km away from Mkushi on a red dust road cutting through the high grass called by the locals “bush”. The local people are mostly farmers so corn fields replaced the bush here and there. As your car bumps across a river you see more trees and bush, corn fields, a few houses, directions signs for three churches and one school. Plus the sign board for Mkushi College of Education.
