Z-Con


The business side of our adventure here is getting rather tough. Zcon has just finished it's first job- which was a foundation job that took about 3 months. Our superintendent, Harold, did a great job and has quite a rapport with his work crew of just under 50 men and one women (the cook). One of the workers actually named his first child after Harold!! The crew is very happy to be working for Zcon and have said he would go anywhere Zcon sent them. It's great to have happy employees who are truly thankful for each day of employment. This job has gained us a lot of experience, but not a lot of Kwacha. We continue to pray for God's direction in leading us to the right jobs to fulfill our mission while in Zambia- to transfer our skills to the Zambian workers, pay them an above average wage, and treat them with respect.
