 It has been a long trip to Solwezi, here in the Northwest district of Zambia. During the long (9 hours!) drive from the capital of Zambia, Lusaka, to Solwezi, I had time to see what the country looked like. Some things that struck me immediately—there are almost no cars. Almost everyone is walking, or if they’re blessed, they have a bicycle. I see women walking carrying baskets of vegetables on their heads, with babies on their backs and jugs of water in their arms. Some people don’t have shoes on. Our World Vision driver, David, tells me that many people have to walk miles each way to work in the mines, go to school, or collect safe water from a well.
The country is vast—about the size of Texas, with less than half the population—and looks a little bit like Texas, too: dry, flat some rolling hills.
