ZM week 1- Leaving a legacy
Unconsciously, Zambia seems to start to take a place within my heart.
The first week: I began to understand a bit more about the land, the culture, and the language. Although, so far this has come with a price.. .. Such as: lack of friends, lack of adequate infrastructure, and limited liberty.
But what can we say... we PUSH THROUGH.
So far, I have immersed myself in this experience, by being hosted from a local family in a Compound. They call it ''Komboni'' , which is technically a shanty town. I will have to say that living here, it has not been the easiest task, due to the lack of safety in the roads and around the sorroundings. However under the guidance of the host family, I should be alright.

WHAT DID I DO PRACTICALLY THIS WEEK?
- Confidently teached sport from grade 1 to grade 7 in the community school.
- I have creatively began to provide contents and useful resources for the classes.
Let's see what I will do next..
Welcome!! You can call me either Cothney or Theresa. Currently, a student at the University of Lille in France.
I am navigating the intriguing nuances of researching in England, France, and Italy. During my summer research experience, I have been concentrating on 'Mapping colonial subjects from the French Resistance' with a crosscultural experience between France and the UK.. ask me more if you would like to.
