The kids of Garden recently raised some money and took a well deserved holiday to Lake Kariba.
A couple of weeks ago the very talented youth of Garden were able to perform, through dance and song, at three International Schools near Lusaka in order to raise funds for a much needed holiday!

Mulenga and the YOFOSO team planned a trip to Siavona where they were able to visit the largest man-made lake in Africa- Lake Kariba. The lake lies along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. \The ecology of Lake Kariba is vibrant. A number of fish species have been introduced to the lake, notably the sardine-like kapenta (transported from Lake Tanganyika), which now supports a thriving commercial fishery. Other inhabitants of Lake Kariba include Nile crocodiles and hippopotamuses!! For more info about this lake visit

As the photos show, the girls and boys had a great time swimming and attempting to paddle with the canoes. Even our Local Rep Mulenga looks very relaxed!!

Stay tuned for the video of the performances that helped raise the much needed money to allow kids to be kids, have time away from home, bond, and play and be happy!
