Medical Mission Trip: Lusaka, Zambia Three weeks in Zambia significantly impacted my life and I will be forever grateful for the experiences and people I encountered. During my time in Lusaka working at Beit Cure Hospital I was able to help the medical assistants and nurses clean and take vital signs of the patients in the children’s wing. It was during this time that I truly got to know the patients and their families. One of my favorite memories is that of my time spent with a little boy named

Zambia In the United States, catching a cold or cutting your foot is a very minor problem because of highly trained medical professionals and the correct medication. Now, imagine catching a deadly disease and not having access to a doctor or the medicine needed to treat it. This is very common and happens daily in Zambia. In fact, Zambia has a serious problem with diseases, little medical staff, correct medications, and vaccines to prevent the diseases. Geographically, Zambia has a rough, jagged

In this essay I am going to examine the impact of this third world “clothes dumping,” on poverty, specifically in the country of Zambia, and discuss ways in this impacts inequality.

Africa as well as the U.K. and U.S.A. Whilst Smith introduced new race laws to allow all races to acquire agricultural land in hitherto exclusively white areas, Kaunda and Machel discussed plans for a pan-African military force in Mozambique, Zambia and Botswana and were joined later by Angola. This was mainly in response to a threatened attack by Rhodesian forces in Botswana

Q. Is African Witchcraft a Cure or Curse to Zambian Society? ​ In remote parts of Zambia when people get sick, instead of being taken to a medically trained doctor, their family takes them to a witch doctor with "magical powers". These families often believe an evil spirit has put a curse on the sick family member. Such superstitious thoughts are not uncommon in Zambia. Witchcraft has a long history in Zambia and even today people turn to such practices. In the bush, a witch doctor is sometimes

of globalization would say, westerners are supplying and robbing peoples choices. Because salaula is so cheap, Zambians who are living off of close to $2 a day have no choice but to buy and wear cheap donated clothes. It is an economic necessity in Zambia. Although people have the freedom to choose, they do not have the capability to do so. This paradox is one of the main arguments against globalization. The Zambians have several choices within the pile of donated clothes, but in reality there choices

The insurgents fighting the central government in Rhodesia had safe havens in the neighboring countries of Zambia and Mozambique, which caused the war to take on the form of a peripheral insurgency. ZAPU and ZANU both relocated to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, after they were banned by the Rhodesian government.

Corruption is one of the major themes in the post colonial literature in Africa. In the Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born, this theme covers the entire book though not clearly stated. The author decided to use the symbols of filthy and rot to represent it.
