911!
There's a fire! After dinner the students were washing dishes and others were engaged in other activities. I sat on the verandah trying to access the Internet. I noticed what I thought was the glow of the sunset. The thought of taking a picture was on my mind but I was about to be connected with the illusive Internet. Suddenly I heard the unmistakable sound of fire eating dried grass, brush, and trees. Zambians are notorious for burning but this was a little too much and way too close to one of our thatched roof houses. What a sight! Everyone was scrambling and some were near panic. The students started brining buckets of water to fight the fire. I wonder if the one Zambian man who initiated the burn was glad for our help. PS I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures. More to come!
