We are very excited about our upcoming trip to the town of Livingstone, Zambia, Africa.
The purpose of the trip is to work in the Livingstone community for 2 weeks. Much of this volunteer work will take place at a lion breeding sanctuary where we will be living. We will also be involved in local community projects.
The lion sanctuary work will include taking young lions for walks each day. By doing so, these lions will gain enough hunting skills and independence to live in the wild. We will also be required to feed lions, clean lion cages (ugh!) and collect data regarding the lions' progress.
The community work is still in the planning stages, but we expect to have some time dedicated to visting the Lubasi orphanage http://www.lubasihome.org/ We are in the beginning stages of exploring what we can do to offer assistance to this orphange.
Departure date is Dec 27th. We've received our travel clinic prescriptions (malaria pills for example), booked our flights and continue to communicate with our hosts in preparation for the trip.
