Dear
All,
We are fast
approaching
the end
of the rainy
season here
in Zambia.
We received
slightly
above average
rains in
the Luangwa
Valley and
were nearly
flooded
again in
February
but thankfully
the water
receded

with crazy

to the elements.
As a result,
we are planning
on introducing
the topic
of climate
change to
the Chipembele
programme
and producing
a display
on the subject
in the Wildlife
Education
Centre.
It will
be a new
concept
for most
pupils but
we believe
it is a
very important
one that
is likely
to impact
on their
lives one
way or another
in the near
future.
Opening
the minds
of the local
children
to the conservation
issues of
the wider
world while
also concentrating
on issues
that affect
them in
their daily
lives is
an integral
part of
Chipembele’s
