LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY VISITS NATA VILLAGE

Nata Primary School got a warm visit from two professors, eight university students and one husband from Lake Superior State University in America to donate clothing, shoes, sports equipment and candy for the Orphan and Needy students. Their visit was short but enjoyable, during the distribution of all the items they collected in the States. More than 126 Orphan and Needy students received a pair of shoes, one t-shirt or jersey, one toy, one tooth brush with tooth paste, and a hand full of candy. All students were accompanied by their care givers during this great event. The distribution was made possible by the University, Nata Primary School Teachers, K. Rancholo, and Mr. Tiro. The care givers were very happy for this special event. The Orphan and Needy students were happy and excited for this great and wonderful contribution by Lake Superior State University. The visit from the University was an excellent day for all of us in Nata Village.

The Visit by Lake Superior State University to Nata Village was the first of it's kind and hopefully not the last one by any school or organazation.

This is awesome! Thanks to all who participated in this. It makes me so happy to see donations going directly to this village. It is great to see visitors interacting with Nata locals when most people just pass by this amazing village on their way to Victoria Falls or some other tourist destination. Job well done!

I'm so pleased to see all these young faces joined together helping one another. If only the whole world could come together like this, meeting each other's needs. Hopefully the students from Lake Superior State University can return again next spring.

I am looking for what are the things they like about the area. What
are the lifestyle issues they are looking for, or what are the
differences from where they currently live.
