Instruction Manual

It has been brought to my attention, through various questions, that some people might not understand exactly how this webpage works. (ex: Why is it called a "blog"? Am I allowed to communicate with you, or is the blog strictly one-way communication? Can I read your "blog" on my typewriter, or do I need one of those newfangled computer contraptions?) Please accept my apologies for not being more explicit.

So now that Step Two is done ("create first blog posting") please allow me to move on to Step One ("teach people how to use blog"). This is a short, user-friendly guide.


Two-Way Communication
  • You are allowed (in fact, encouraged) to leave comments and questions for the Zambia Team on this webpage. As stated in an earlier post, we may not have regular access to the internet while we are in Zambia, but please comment all the same.

  • In order to communicate with us, simply click on the link that says "comments" at the end of each post. You may then type your comment in the box that appears. Don't forget to sign your name to your post!

  • Next, click on the little circle that says "anonymous." This feature will allow anybody to leave a comment (for better or worse.)

  • Finally, click "Publish Your Comment" and it will be sent to the Zambia team. Everybody who visits the blog will also be able to read it.

  • If only programming your universal remote was this easy...

Hi Matt

I just got an email from my brother saying that they got to the terminal about 7:10 am and found out that your flight came in early at 6.44 am and could not find you. They are not sure what happened. I will talk to them this afternoon and find out more. I hope you had a smooth trip. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Naison.

Hey Zambia Team,

Happy 4th of July. Even though its not till tomorrow!!! You are spending my favorite holiday in my favorite place!

What are you thoughts about the kids?!! I'm sure that they are lovely and that your lives are being changed!!


If anyone is intrested when you all come back, there is an immigrant and refugee organization in Milwaukee called the Pan African Community Assiocation and they are looking for tutors for the the immigrant and refugee children in the fall. There is a HUGE African population in our backyard. So if anyone catches the "AFRICAN LOVE BUG" (really, It's infetious and it will be hard to come home!) let me know and I'll be happy to get you more info.
