Finally arrived into Ndola, Zambia. It took two days to get out here because I had to stay overnight in johannesburg. You can really see a lot of development and significant changes in joburg from the world cup. Adam Sallee, who helps with the marketing of Northrise from Houston, is out here and was kind enough to pick me up from the airport. Ndola so far is a wonderful place and everyone here is so kind and polite. The only minor problem here is that it is quite smoky right now because they are burning the fields in order to get ready for the farming. I had dinner with the Dean of Academics named Chialo at his house and had a wonderful time talking about politics and the local culture. Tomorrow I am touring the city and the Northrise farm where they harvest bananas and raise chickens. Hope all is well and I will be able to talk much more about the local area tomorrow.
