Successful Street Fair stall
A very successful fundraising day at the Penicuik Street Fair, Scotland (Saturday 25th August). Thanks to all who helped and supplied goods and encouragement.
An interesting book launch
Mr. Chola Mwelwa, our Trustee in Chesterfield, England, was invited to say a few words about Friends of Chitambo at Mrs Florence Mwando's book launch in Nottingham, on 18th August.
Florence is a nurse and member of the Zambian Diaspora community in England. Her book is titled 'Benoni, Immigrant Nurse and Educator' was launched at a high profile affair with representation from the Zambian Embassy in London. Congratulations Ba Florence and thank you for the opportunity.

Scholarship students' exam success
FoCH is very proud to announce that 'our' current 3 scholarship student nurses have passed their first end of semester exams and will now proceed to their 'capping'.ceremony. That is, they will receive one stripe on their caps (girls) or on their white coat lapels (boys), as a mark of their progress. Well done guys and keep it up. We are right behind you. And, of course, congratulations to your tutors.
Mwabombeni mukwai everyone, very well done.
