Heading Home. But where is home?

The Magic Group!

Back in April, when we traveled to the capital, Lusaka, we met some really interesting characters at our accommodation. Among them was a guy from Turkey, who was conducting business activities in the city. Besides that, he was a seasoned traveler, and according to him... he had visited more than 1,000 different cities: He said...

They say the African sunshine has a positive effect on the body, especially the skin. Well… after nearly 6 months of being in Zambia, I have a few questions about that.

A few weeks ago, I received some questions about what the stores look like in Zambia! So… the small "shop" shown in the picture is the most common type around our area. At the time the photo was taken, it was empty because it was Sunday, and the locals are typically at church during that time.

Who is familiar with the movie or book Into the Wild? It's a true story about the adventures of American Christopher McCandless. The guy comes from a wealthy family, the child of affluent parents.

Have You Ever Seen a Tree Like This?

There was crocodile petting at St. László Catholic Primary School! Of course, that's an exaggeration, but it's not far from the truth that we brought a real crocodile leather briefcase to the event. The event was part of a program where we visited the schoolchildren of the "Szent László" in Kisvárda earlier this week, on the first day of the...

Timon and Pumbaa also visited St. László Kindergarten. Last week, we told the children at the St. László Catholic Kindergarten in Kisvárda how the characters from The Lion King live in real Africa.

Emanuel (14 years old) walks several kilometers every day, carrying the sack (in the photo behind them) filled with PET bottles, wires, metal sheets, and other scrap metal. He collects these materials from the streets and sells them to the right people (although it's hard to find buyers) who then make a profit from them. The metal, wires, and metal...

African traditional medicine has been using the power of nature for centuries to treat and prevent diseases. One of the most interesting herbs widely used in African medicine is Hoodia Gordonii, which is native to the African deserts.

Longu Ganzaj, who always has a kind word for everyone. We've known Longu since we arrived in Zambia, as every time we're in the area where he works, he warmly greets us and always has a kind word to say, just like he does with everyone else. However, it wasn't until last week that we had a deeper conversation with him....

In the vibrant culture of Africa, clothing is not just a way to cover the human body, but also a form of communication with the outside world. Traditional dressing customs are especially important in tribal cultures, where the meaning of clothing plays a deeper role in defining an individual's position and status within the community.

Timon and Pumbaa visited the Gyöngyszem Reformed Kindergarten in Kisvárda today, in celebration of World Environment Day. The children are all familiar with The Lion King movie, and they all know who Timon and Pumbaa are.

The two-week mission in Addis Ababa has passed quickly. During the mission, six doctors (ophthalmologists, ENT specialists, and an anesthesiologist) worked at the Yaketit 12 Hospital. The local community received the Hungarian assistance with great enthusiasm.

We met the guy in the picture three weeks ago in Lusaka – it would have been better if we met under different circumstances, but surely this story has its own purpose and reason.

A Worn Face. Empty Gaze. Hopelessness. What 20 Years in Prison Does to a Person in Zambia?

During our visit to Lusaka, we took a tour around the famous and renowned Sunday Craft Handmade Village, which is highly respected not only in Zambia but across Southern Africa. This place is better known as the "Local Crafts Village" in English. Despite the name, it resembles more of a market than a village, although the area is quite large....

The medical mission in Ethiopia is still ongoing. Busy days have passed for the Hungarian doctors on their mission in Ethiopia. The Embassy of Hungary in Ethiopia is actively assisting our doctors in organizing their tasks. The team was invited to dinner the day before yesterday, where future plans were also discussed. Everyone agreed that the...
