Tradition dictates that a welcome braii is always held for the new VSO volunteers, organised by the current ones. Hopefully, the existing volunteers provide a few friendly faces to the new vols after they have only been in the country for 24hrs. With limited options in Lusaka we decided to have the braii at my new house, trying to squeeze in something like 45 people into the place. If the rain had come then we would have been in trouble and sat like sardines but luckily the weather stayed dry for a few hours so people could spill outside; so my house survived the invasion of so many people. And it was a success– lots of tasty braii food, cold beers and much excited / nervous chatter and questioning about life as a volunteer in Zambia. A good start for the new vols on the block and there was enough food leftover for the current vols to have another braii the following evening!
