2016 has been another amazing year, tinged only by sadness at the news of the death of His Majesty Chief Muchinka, Chief of the Lala people. Our thoughts are with the Chitambo community as they mourn the loss of their esteemed and much loved Chief this Christmas.

Our thoughts are also here in Scotland, with the sad news that our Honorary President, Janet Knox, has fallen and sustained a hip fracture. Janet has been battling metastatic breast cancer and other health problems. However, thanks to the good fortunes of our Scottish NHS, she has now been to the operating theatre and had the fracture repaired. Apparently she was awake and eating when her family visited. She is much comforted by well-wishes from Zambian friends and has a copy of the photo below at her bedside.

We wish Janet a speedy recovery from the fracture. We are enriched by the example of our Chitambo elders, Chief Muchinka and Ba Janet, who served as a nursing sister at Chitambo in the 1960s. Her memories of that time remain strong and bright.
Here are a few images of our year.
Thank you to all our supporters and we wish you a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous 2017 when the time comes.
