A trip to Livingstone

I have just returned from Livingstone, southern Zambia. This district on the border with Zimbabwe is often referred to as the tourist capital of Zambia. It is about 600 kilo metres from the capital, Lusaka and takes about seven hours drive. There are also flights to Livingstone from Lusaka and other districts. But there are also direct international flights to this city.
Livingstoneis where you find several species of wild animals and one of the eight wonders of the world, the Mighty Victoria Falls. There are other attractions such as museums, traditional dances and sites of historical nature.
Livingstone plays a major role in Zambia's economy as a result of the natural resources therein.
I would like to publish some of the areas I considered crucial and affect the people of Zambia and Livingstone in particular.
I caught up with my friend from the British Council Macnon Luwaile and David Haskins fron UK Youth Sport Trust, who were conducting another leadership training programme for youths. This was an inspiring programme considering the amount of empowerment being imparted into the youth. Zambia need youth empowerment programmes now more than ever before realising the fact that young people are not only leaders of today, but the future as well.
Best regards!!
