In the course of a week here in Zambia we had a huge celebration…and a major loss. Zambia first
celebrated 50 years of Independence during which everyone came
together to show their love and pride in their country. I was quite impressed and was happy to be
here during this "Golden Jubilee" celebration. But, then, just a few days later the country lost their
leader, President Michael Sata . It’s been an interesting couple of weeks as the
country has gone into national mourning.
Tomorrow will be a national holiday as the late President is buried and
a mass is held in his honor. But, again, the
country has come together to honor the President in a peaceful way which is a strong
testament to the character of the Zambian people.
