Yes, I have seen elephants and zebras in Kafue National Park. The road from Lusaka to Mongu cuts through the National Park. It was built by a Dutch firm in 2005 and is as straight as a dye for 600 kilometres.
But there is really nothing special in seeing elephants and zebras but there is something extraordinarily special about seeing people whose lives have been changed as a result of the cooperation between them, and Concern and Irish Aid.
Everywhere Concern is working it is helping to improve agricultural methods to improve yield and to produce nutrient rich food. It is also empowering women in such a way that women and men are working together in a way they never did before.
At breakfast this morning a man from Finland said to me that 'Africa is the future'. It has that feeling about it.
