The McAuley family has moved to Zambia for a 2 year (maybe more) stint as Jim takes on a role with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Global AIDS Program. Amy and the kids will keep themselves busy with school and serving God in ways only He knows.

AISL Volleyball Champions

John is not into blogging, yet so I am reporting on his activities. This weekend AISL (American International School in Lusaka) played in the ISAZ Midlands Senior Volleyball Tournament. John played on the varsity boys team. They won all six of their matches! Bravo.
Theater is a new class for him and he tried out and was chosen for the Tinman in the WIZ. Jim and I are still hoping we will find a violin teacher and he will want to continue his musical studies......

I went birding with the Zambian Ornithological Society (ZOS) this weekend north of the city just beyond the Mutumbi Cemetary.We saw waxbills, twinspots, puffbacks, yellow canaries, weavers, boubou, sunbird, Ashy flycatcher, Cardinal woodpecker, chinsopt batis, Paradise flycathcher(with tail that looks about a foot long), Tawny-flanked prinia, cisticola, bulbul, greenbul,wire;tailed swallow, black kite, Wahlberg's eagle, apalis, and gray heron. There were many more heard like the hoopoe, but not seen.
