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.

I've got flaming malaria again! Heidie and I went the whole rain (high) season without getting it and now we've both had it in the low season. Not happy. I guess we are lucky we can access the hospital easily and afford the best medication unlike the many people who needlessly die of malaria in our catchment area each year.

On the bright side I signed a cheque yesterday for 150 million (kwacha) to purchase 10,000 Mosquito nets to be distributed around Chikankata, courtesy of our Child Survival Project.

Oi Hudson - stop leading the man astray - it was 3-2 to Man United! Anyway the result that matters to the big fella is Southend's 3-3 draw with Norwich!
