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.

CHIKANKATA ON THE MARCH

Today is congress. Whilst I have not been able to attend (I will write a seperate account of the building deadline when I have clamed down - which will probably be in about two weeks time - there are some people who are going to get a right rocketing tommorrow!), anyhow, it was great to see The Salvation Army marching through the Mission. Apparently, its been quite a few years since there was a TSA march through this place.

What a fantastic sight! There must have been a line of about 1/2 mile of marchers. I have tried not to mention much about what has happened in the past few years but it seems the Territorial leadership and the Salvation Army members at Chikankata had not been entirely pleased about some of the developments at the Hospital in recent years.

This was a day where everyone was saying The Salvation Army had well and truly reclaimed the Mission.

Good to meet your parents today here in Penzance, where they led a good meeting, and particularly to hear about the work you are doing from them as they have visited you there. The kids want to know did you get the ambulance yet? Warmest blessings,Eleanor n/TSSF

Oi big man! Why are you only promoting the Hanover collection point on your blog?

You need to give http://www.justgiving.com/gisatenner a plug too:

Only requested money from Shrimpers and Saints fans so far - the English have been more generous so far!

Take care - good win v. Hearts on Saturday!
