Lou and Barb Bottitta and Mike Orbin are showing us how Rotary Connects the World! They are off on a month-long Rotary trip to Africa! They arrived in Zambia, along with others from our district, on August 27 and completed a 5-day service project refurbishing and painting classrooms in Mfuwe village, in the South Luanga National Park.
In addition to the school painting, they brought youth soccer shoes and school supplies for the Mfuwe school students, who often play soccer barefooted. See photos of their service project below. It looks like they were well-fed along the way!
As you read this, our travelers will be on safari in what is one of the most pristine wilderness areas of Africa. Lou sent a few advance photos over the weekend,
writing that they were on the way to "Mfuwe Lodge and The Bushcamp Company" in South Luangwa National Park and will be internet silent for several days. As they traveled, they spotted leopard, baboons, and elephants. We are sure to be treated to an amazing slideshow safari upon their return.
