On Saturday 22nd August Team 94 traveled to Mndemba village to do our final Community Action Day. Mndemba is a village 45mins outside Chipata, within which GCPDO, one of the volunteer work placements, is operating to encourage community development.
The programme for the day was made up of five different sessions. In groups of 3/4 people we prepared and presented to roughly 100 villagers on the topics:
1) Water and Sanitation – Charlotte, Maggie, Fatness, Matt
2) Gender Based Violence – YWCA Drama Group
3) HIV/AIDS – Vally, Paul, Prudence
4) Children’s Rights – Jackson, Eliot, Christina and Jessy
5) Agriculture – Tommy, Matt, Mwata and Naomi
Through a mixture of the role plays, flipcharts and sharing of leaflets we sensitised the people on the topics. It was a great day, the audience responded well, interacted and Team 94 was happy.

10 volunteers from UK and 9 volunteers from Zambia make up Global Xchange's Team 94. In March 2009 they meet in Swansea, Wales and will spend 3 months there, volunteering within the community before flying to Zambia for a further 3 months. Its a cultural skill xchange between a small group of 19, with potential to make a difference in many more lives.
