Our cataractophile/artist/friend!

As our first place to stay in Lusaka, Quinten graciously offered us a camping space in his garden, took us on an early Monday morning walk, and poured us (well, more accurately, Shereen) some of the Gin he makes from the fruits found on his property.

Quentin Allen, your studio was my favourite thing to see, and thank you for making art the way that you do in this world!

While David was out and about in town, I spent the day with the remarkable children and guides at Techno Kids Montessori Pre-school in Lusaka. The Montessori pedagogy feels like home to me, and being offered the opportunity to observe fellow Montessorians in other countries serving children builds my spirit and nourishes me deeply. Thank you, Teachers Moses and Ester, for your grace!  And thank you, dear children, for your curiosity, playfulness, and constant reminders that your openness is rare and to be deeply respected!Read more
