http://livinzambia.blogspot.com/2008/07/from-black-proboscis-to-zambian.html
Milenge, Luapula, Zambia. Friday, July 18, 2008. From the Black Proboscis to Zambian Bicycles. An update my first month in Milenge. July 1, 2008. Here is a short dialogue I had on my first day of work at the health clinic in Milenge:. Doctor: “You have Malaria.”. Me: “Haha, okay where do I go to get the treatment? I guess the mosquitoes in Milenge are really sneaky! For example, they taught me how to cook nshima – the staple food in Zambia – and I made my first pot of nshima on June 22! Me, grinding sorg...

Olivia in Zambia: A Typical Day in Milenge District
http://livinzambia.blogspot.com/2008/07/typical-day-in-milenge-district.html
Milenge, Luapula, Zambia. Friday, July 25, 2008. A Typical Day in Milenge District. Since I’ve been moving around a lot, I haven’t had a typical day. So this is a typical day when I was living in Kapalala Ward with a hygiene promoter and his family. Sometime early in the morning, I am woken up by the chickens, the children talkin. G in the room next to mine, the ridiculously cold temperature, and/or an unbelievable need to use the latrine! Go for a run around the soccer field at. Breakfast, and already.

Olivia in Zambia: Open Defecation (a.k.a. “Shitting in the Bush”) and Other Risky Behaviours
http://livinzambia.blogspot.com/2008/07/open-defecation-aka-shitting-in-bush.html
Milenge, Luapula, Zambia. Monday, July 28, 2008. Open Defecation (a.k.a. “Shitting in the Bush”) and Other Risky Behaviours. The hygiene promoters have a list of risky behaviours that they discuss in village meetings. They discus why these behaviours are risky. Some of the discussion is very blunt and the villagers have a good laugh about it. The idea is that building latrines and wells is only part of the solution to decreasing incidences of water borne/hygiene related diseases! Why is it risky? Risky B...
