Zambia-Contrasting Buildings There to Those in Dubai




The next leg of our journey took us to Zambia to look at developing a service learning class for our students for August.  After spending a day running around Dubai, this image, and the others taken, filled our eyes with the sharp contrast of rich and poor.  This is a typical street business and residence in a city of 83 % unemployment.  No infrastructure can be seen in most places.  No sewer system.  No water system.  No storm drain system.  No paving.  Just lots of Toyota buses, like this one, carrying people everywhere hustling for work and the next deal.  I am still trying to understand how this can be.
