Also a second project took place in February 2007. The 15 volunteers worked in Livingstone for a week, before working in Lusaka for another week. The group of volunteers roofed a school, developed irrigation systems, planted seeds and built a piggeryAfter months of fund-raising, the last of the donations was brought in on the morning of departure for Zambia (9th Feb).
