Charlie Chikankata has a lot to answer for! Here I am in the heart of rural Zambia, working for The Salvation Army as the Manager/Hospital Administrator of Chikankata Health Services. Not so much an intellectuall reflection rather a kind of journal of the unexpected.

Chik Ambulance Appeal

We have many funny vehicles stories but unfortunately this is not one of them. Chikankata needs a new Ambulance.

We have sent the ambulance out a few times recently and it broke down causing us a lot of problems. Now we have received the news that the ambulance is in Intensive Care and unlikely to survive. It needs a new head gasket and engine overhaul - it would cost more than it worth. Now 9 of friends (yes I do have nine friends!) have agreed to help.

So the Chikankata Gangstas are in town. Check out www.chikambulance.blogspot.com The boys hope to raise the money by Christmas.

Please help them if they approach you or watch out for the horse's head !

NOTE:
We do have other vehicles that can act as makeshift ambulances at present but we are simply putting mattresses on the floor of Landcruisers or in the back of pick-ups so it is far from ideal (e.g. there is no oxygen cyclinder or room for nurses to sit.)
This is an entirely personal venture on my part to raise the money.
