Rescue


The Zambians are such gracious, helpful people! Our Land Rover is in the shop for repairs, so we are borrowing a small minivan. We took some young men home this afternoon and got stuck in a mudhole on our way out of their compound. Within minutes a crowd of helpful men and women gathered. The pulled and pushed for some time with no luck. Two of the women brought large stones to put under the sunken tire. Still stuck. Finally the men decided to just lift the rear of the van. They grabbed hold of the back bumper, lifted it up, and moved it to dry ground. We thanked them profusely and went on our way.
