One of the most well know about this animal is its relationship with a small bird called the honeyguide. It is believed that the bird, which likes beeswax and bee larvae, needs the badger to help open bee hives. So it gets the attention of the honey badger by making twittering noises and flying from tree to tree to guide it to a bee hive. Since the honey badger also likes the products of bee hives, it willing follows. When the hive is reached, the bird patiently waits for the honey badger to break open the hive. The badger feeds on the honey and bee larvae and then leaves some for the bird which then flies in and feeds on the remaining larvae and beeswax. The myth goes on to say that if the badger does not leave any food for the bird, the next time it may gets its revenge by leading the badger to a lion or a snake.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The construction of the oven took more or less one month, this was due to some materials which were imported within Zambia and some, like the fire bricks and the properly cement, from Italy.

Per la costruzione c’è voluto, più o meno, un mese perché si è dovuto attendere anche qualche materiale proveniente dall’Italia come i mattoni refrattari e la malta refrattaria.

One week after completion of courses Mrs. Nyerere, who teaches the course of catering, has organized a lesson in Italian cooking for her 22 students. Here's the menu: lasagne alla bolognese, farfalle al pomodoro e salame di cioccolato. The class, curious about the preparations, has learned to work and create fresh pasta, as well as sheets for lasagne, handmade farfalle. For sauces, some students are passionate about the lengthy preparation of the meat sauce and fresh tomato sauce. The unusual preparation of sweet, unusual for students who are accustomed to baking in the oven, has wowed all the guys! He concluded the different preparations, all students are seated at the table and, as in the great Italian families, they ate all together the dishes prepared. At the end of the meal came the salame di cioccolato ... and everyone licked his fingers!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/olgas.italiancorner/20111122YCTCITALIANCUISINELESSON#" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See all the&amp;nbsp;PICTURES of the event in our PICASA ALBUM!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQk7DlVW08I/Tt_tqSIY4DI/AAAAAAAABY4/ZLkC6rCt-ZQ/s1600/Bi_2011.11.22_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQk7DlVW08I/Tt_tqSIY4DI/AAAAAAAABY4/ZLkC6rCt-ZQ/s1600/Bi_2011.11.22_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ITALIANO)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Lezione speciale per i ragazzi del corso di catering. Ad una settimana dalla chiusura dei corsi Mrs Nyerenda, docente del corso di catering, ha organizzato una lezione di cucina italiana per i suoi 22 studenti. Ecco il menu: lasagne alla bolognese, farfalle al pomodoro e salame di cioccolato. I ragazzi, incuriositi dalle preparazioni, hanno imparato a lavorare la pasta fresca e a creare, oltre alle sfoglie per le lasagne, le farfalle fatte a mano. Per i sughi, alcuni studenti si sono appassionati nella lunga preparazione del ragù di carne e del sugo di pomodoro fresco. L’insolita preparazione del dolce, insolita per gli studenti che sono abituati a preparare dolci al forno, ha lasciato a bocca aperta tutti i ragazzi!

I bozzetti consegnati dagli artisti per la selezione resteranno dei singoli artisti che, terminata la fase di selezione e di esposizione prevista, potranno reclamarne la restituzione entro tre mesi dalla conclusione del concorso (1 luglio 2012), trascorsi i quali le opere potranno essere alienate o distrutte. In seguito potrebbe essere presa in considerazione da Olga’s – The Italian Corner la decisione di dedicare una parte delle pareti interne della hall del ristorante per promuovere la vendita dei bozzetti presentati nella fase di selezione. A tale decisione si giungerà a seguito di una valutazione adeguata da parte dei responsabili del progetto e del consenso stesso degli artisti.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;SELEZIONE&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Tutte le domande di ammissione, correttamente compilate e provviste di tutto il materiale richiesto, inviate o consegnate ai nostri uffici,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;e pervenute entro la scadenza fissata (ore 12:00 del 19 dicembre 2011), saranno visionate dalla commissione sopra indicata che a suo insindacabile giudizio sceglierà i vincitori del bando “Nine Rooms in Search of an Autor” in data da stabilirsi ma entro e non oltre il mese di febbraio 2012.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Le opere verranno giudicate applicando i seguenti criteri di valutazione (punteggio massimo 110):&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;- qualità estetica e grado di maturità dell’idea (max 30 punti)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;- coerenza con il tema assegnato (max 30 punti)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;- originalità ed innovazione all’interno della tradizione artistico-culturale locale (max 20 punti)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;- fattibilità realizzativa in base al budget prestabilito (max 20 punti)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;- coerenza rispetto ai temi delle altre stanze e dell’arredamento/design del resto della stanza (max 10 punti)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;CHIAMATA DEI PARECIPANTI&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Gli artisti verranno invitati ad ogni evento riguardante il concorso tramite avvisi esposti all’interno dei locali del ristorante ed eventualmente tramite SMS o MAIL, previa autorizzazione degli stessi partecipanti.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;NOMINA DEI VINCITORI&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;La commissione si riunirà e valuterà i bozzetti pervenuti giungendo alla scelta dei dipinti e dei nove artisti vincitori del concorso.

The celebration was held in the main hall at YCTC and was done in two main themes namely, open day and graduation ceremony for the Tailoring former students who were sponsored by The Rotary Club of Livingstone. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;17 students graduated and got their Certificates and sewing machines from the President of The Rotary Club of Livingstone Anthony Ranjan. They have been given the sewing machines so that they will make use of them and benefit for their livelihood. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The students from Catering, Bricklaying, Tailoring, Computer, Carpentry, Plumbing and all the staff were gathered at YCTC in order to witness the graduation ceremony as well as the open day for the parents and guardians of the students. In this very day the parents have the opportunity to see the activities of the school. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The celebration started at 08.00 a.m. and lasted up to 12.30 p.m. Once the visitors gathered in the hall they were warmly welcomed by the choir group, that sang a song about YCTC. After speeches, group of students entertained the visitors with some nice songs and a very funny drama. Immediately after the speech from the guest of honour (Fr. Clifford), Mr Ranjan and Sr. Pepetua awarded the certificates and sewing machines to former tailoring students, and Mr Chokani (the administrator of YCTC) invited everybody to fill in the questioners. The questioners were to be filled in by the former students of YCTC, the potential beneficiaries of the Centre, and the employers who employ the former students from YCTC. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The most excited moment that the visitors enjoyed was the tour of the classes. The first place they got in was catering class: the students had prepared various foods which they exhibited to the visitors and explained them how they prepare and arrange the table in an Hotel. In the tailoring class, the students displayed the items which they had sewed. In the Computer Class the students showed to the visitors their typing skills and other packages that they learned. In the carpentry class the students displayed coffee tables, stools, and folding chairs. Finally, in the Plumbing Class the parents witnessed how the students make dust pans and joining of water pipe; they also displayed buckets made of sheet metal.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;I’m sure the parents and guardians did enjoy the two hours touring of the school.

La cerimonia si è svolta nella Hall del centro e ha riguardato due momenti principali: la presentazione della scuola ai genitori degli studenti e ai visitatori, e la cerimonia di diploma delle ex-studentesse del corso di sartoria, sponsorizzate dal Rotary Club di Livingstone. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Gli studenti dei corsi di Catering, Edilizia, Sartoria, Computer, Falegnameria, Idraulica e tutti i membri dello staff si sono riuniti per assistere alla cerimonia di diploma e per festeggiare con i propri genitori la giornata di “scuola aperta”. Questa infatti è un’ottima occasione per i genitori per vedere come si svolgono le attività scolastiche del centro frequentato dai loro ragazzi. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;La cerimonia è iniziata alle 8 e si è conclusa verso le 12.30. Una volta che i visitatori si sono riuniti nella Hall, sono stai caldamente accolti dal coro, che hanno cantato una canzone sul YCTC. Dopo alcune presentazioni ed alcuni discorsi di ringraziamento, due gruppi i studenti hanno intrattenuto i visitatori con alcune belle canzoni e una recita molto divertente. Subito dopo il discorso dell’ospite d’onore (Padre Clifford), Mr Ranjan e Suor Perpetua hanno consegnato i diplomi e le macchine da cucire alle studentesse. Dopodiché, Mr Chokani (l’amministratore del YCTC) ha invitato tutti i presenti a compilare alcuni questionari per contribuire ad un’indagine che il YCTC sta svolgendo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Il momento più interessante della giornata è stata la visita delle classi del centro da parte dei genitori e degli ospiti. Nella classe del corso di catering gli studenti avevano preparato diversi cibi che potevano essere gustati dai visitatori; inoltre gli studenti davano dimostrazione di come è possibile imbandire una tavola in un hotel. Nella classe del corso di sartoria le studentesse avevano preparato un’esposizione di prodotti cuciti da loro: tende, lenzuola, tovagliette. Gli studenti del corso di computer hanno dimostrato le loro competenze nell’uso dei diversi programmi del pacchetto Office. Nella classe di falegnameria gli studenti hanno esposto tavolini, sgabelli e sedie pieghevoli realizzati da loro. Infine, nella classe del corso di idraulica i visitatori hanno assistito alla lavorazione di lastre di metallo e tubi e hanno ammirato alcuni prodotti realizzati dagli studenti.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Certamente i genitori e i visitatori si sono molto divertiti durante tutta la giornata al YCTC. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Arrivederci al prossimo Open Day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/olgas.italiancorner/20111008YCTCOPENDAY2011#"&gt;Guarda tutte le&amp;nbsp;IMMAGINI su PICASA!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H9Rzm9LBIL4/TpRA3N86DyI/AAAAAAAAAno/hxz_GrREVDc/s1600/Bi_2011.10.08_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H9Rzm9LBIL4/TpRA3N86DyI/AAAAAAAAAno/hxz_GrREVDc/s1600/Bi_2011.10.08_3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8163232776366778819-860710524830792866?l=olgasproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/feeds/860710524830792866/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8163232776366778819&amp;postID=860710524830792866&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/860710524830792866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/860710524830792866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/2011/10/yctc-open-day-2011.html' title='YCTC OPEN DAY 2011'/><author><name>Olga's - The Italian Corner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15121590492603024418</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVwZ0tIX8Q8/Ssj-j2mXF0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/jUcpMfQ5H1Y/S220/logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l20Aav2ACiw/TpQ_ZgnEC_I/AAAAAAAAAnY/JYyBCgSUK_8/s72-c/Bi_2011.10.08_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163232776366778819.post-4126117832509966180</id><published>2011-09-29T14:07:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-11T16:20:31.923+02:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ENGLISH)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Happy birthday Mike!

Silence. From our place, few meters from Maramba Compound (one of the most crowded and noisy Livingstone compound) and nearby Mosi-O-Tunia road, the main road in town, it seems just impossible. During the past weeks it was possible to hear people singing, shouting and claiming for their favourite candidate. Each and every party had its own supporters, that used to spend the all day crossing the streets of Livingstone on cars, trucks or buses that played hymns out loud. Both the supporters and the ways of transport were decorated by chitenges, flags and stickers of their favourite condidate’s colour: sky blue for MMD (leading party), green for PF, red for HH (tonga candidate, with a lot of supporters in Livingstone, tonga town). There hasn’t been any moment, during the day and during the night, without supporters singing and shouting a motto. Today is the day. All the schools and the shops are closed. In town selling Chibuko (local beer made of mealy) and Ghiri-ghiri (plastic envelops filled with alcohol) is forbidden. Everybody is queuing in order to vote or at home; no reason to go around in town, so: silence!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;A lot of citizens were involved in the campaign. In fact, quite often it had been difficult to find employees at their work place, and sometimes we had to put off purchasing or meetings (for example with the contractor of Olga’s Guest House) because the summons disappeared…than, unexpectedly, we found them in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;town, dressed in the colours of their candidate, dancing and singing with other supporters. There have been a lot of political meetings (rally) and all the candidates came at least twice to Livingstone to promote their candidature. And the rally have always been very participated, thousands of people came maybe because of their interest for the candidate, maybe because of their desire for the presents that during those meetings were given. In fact, mostly in Lusaka, but also here in Livingstone, a lot of presents were given: beer, mealies meal, chitenge. Everything was done in a peaceful way.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Also at Olga’s the guys were very excited: they have been talking a lot about politics but, like everywhere else, smiling and laughing! Not even one violent episode has been registered. As far as we can understand, there is a strong willing to change and the youths aged between 20 and 25 will go for PF supporting Michael Sata, the ladies will vote for Rupiah Banda (MMD) and the men, especially tonga, will go for HH. The government officers and employees that are close to the present government, don’t have any doubt: they will vote for the actual president. Today is the day...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;We got to know many of the international observers that came in town to assist with the election (they have always had lunch and dinner at Olga’s in the previous weeks). They seem to be quite about the correctness of the counting of the votes. They don’t foresee any problem regarding the public safety. As all the Zambians kept telling us: “this is a Christian country, violence can’t take place”...we believe it and we hope that whoever will be in charge as new president for the next 5 years, will do something very good for this country!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;22 october 2011&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;...few clashes in the Copperbelt area (predictable as the area will really be influenced by the results) and a bit of tension in Lusaka...but always a lot of calm and peacefulness in Livingstone. People are waiting, anxiously but quietly. Olga’s gates are opened and everybody is as usual at his workplace! Tiza o nana! (= see you!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;23 october 2011&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Zambian election results are out, after two waiting days: Mr Sata (PF, the opposition party) has won the presidential. Yesterday two men died in the Copperbelt area during the few clashes due to the too long waiting, but here we are quiet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;We haven’t been able to sleep the all night! At 00:45 the results have been announced and the celebration started in Linda Compound and spread to the others compound and to town where they lasted up to the following morning...we are sleepy!!! Here in Livingstone the celebration is going on peacefully. It seems as if Zambia won the Football World Cup: horns, music and dancing. No safety alert in the country. Everything is ok. Mr Sata, now it’s your turn!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4V4xClmCvnM/TpQdC2r2_lI/AAAAAAAAAmo/fap0p0ipduY/s1600/Bi_2011.09.23_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4V4xClmCvnM/TpQdC2r2_lI/AAAAAAAAAmo/fap0p0ipduY/s1600/Bi_2011.09.23_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ITALIANO)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;20 ottobre 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Calma. Silenzio. Dal nostro plot a poche centinaia di metri dal Maramba Compound (uno dei più chiassosi, data la presenza del più grande mercato di Livingstone, e trafficati quartieri della città) e ad altrettanti metri dalla Mosi-o-Tunia, la via principale del centro, ci sembra impossibile. Le settimane appena passate sono state un crescere di musiche, canti, chiassosa e colorata propaganda politica. Ogni partito aveva i suoi sostenitori che passavano l’intera giornata ad attraversare le vie della città su macchine, camion o pullman assettati con un numero spropositato di megafoni e casse che suonavano i vari inni dei partiti a tutto volume. Sia i sostenitori che i mezzi erano completamente addobbati da chitenge, bandiere e adesivi riportanti i loro politici preferiti ed i colori del partito: azzurro MMD (partito uscente e maggior candidato alla vittoria secondo gli osservatori stranieri…forse perché a speso molti più soldi durante la campagna elettorale), verde PF (partito che se la sta giocando fino all’ultimo) e rosso per HH (il candidato tonga ha un seguito piuttosto numeroso in questa regione prevalentemente costituita da tribu tonga per l’appunto). Non c’è stato un momento della giornata, negli ultimi giorni anche durante la notte, che non si sentissero slogan politici o gente urlante a squarciagola qualche motto. Oggi è il grande giorno, le scuole e tutte le attività commerciali sono chiuse. E’ vietata la vendita di Chibuko (la birra locale fatta con il mais) e Ghiri-ghiri (delle bustine di plastica contenenti alcool di dubbia fattura vendute a prezzi troppo bassi per non essere pericolosissimi alla salute, 500KZM a confezione, circa 0,10 €). Tutti sono in coda per votare o a casa, non c’è motivo per girare per la città, quindi: silenzio! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Molti cittadini sono stati coinvolti dalla campagna elettorale tanto che spesso non si riuscivano mai a trovare alcune persone al loro abituale posto di lavoro e, in alcuni casi, abbiamo addirittura dovuto rinviare alcuni acquisti o meeting (con ad esempio il costruttore della nuova Guest House di Olga’s) perché i partecipanti si erano dati misteriosamente alla macchia…poi, tutto di un tratto li si ritrovava in giro per la città vestiti da testa ai piedi con i colori e le facce dei loro candidati preferiti dei quali stavano appoggiando la candidatura. Ci sono stati diversi comizi e tutti i maggiori candidati sono passati da Livingstone almeno un paio di volte. La presenza di pubblico è sempre stata maestosa, migliaia di persone forse interessate veramente a quello che il candidato aveva da dire ma molto più probabilmente attratte dalla possibilità che durante questi rally potessero ricevere in regalo qualcosa. Usanza molto diffusa oltre che a Lusaka (con regali molto costosi) anche qui e soprattutto nei compound e i villaggi dove sono state regalati centinaia di litri di birra e diverse tonnellate di mealies meal (la farina per fare la polenta locale, indispensabile nella cultura culinaria zambiana). Tutto si è comunque svolto pacificamente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Anche ad Olga’s i ragazzi sono stati molto eccitati, hanno dimostrato diverse preferenze ma come è successo nel resto della città (nessun episodio di violenza registrato) ne hanno solamente parlato animatamente ma sempre con il sorriso sulla bocca. Ognuno avanzava le sue motivazioni ma sempre nel massimo rispetto degli altri. Da quello che ho potuto capire c’è grande voglia di cambiamento e i ragazzi della loro età, 20-25 circa, appoggiano il partito di Michel Sata (PF), le donne madri di famiglia sostengono ancora l’MMD di Rupiah Banda e gli uomini, soprattutto tonga, vedono solo per HH. I dipendenti comunali e le persone molto vicine all’attuale governo, invece, non hanno dubbi ed ovviamente scelta e continuano ad appoggiare il presidente uscente. Oggi è il gran giorno…abbiamo conosciuto gli osservatori dell’Unione Europea venuti in città per le elezioni (hanno pranzato e cenato sempre da Olga’s quando erano in città in queste settimane) e ci sono sembrati molto tranquilli sulla correttezza dello spoglio e dei conteggi. Non prevedono particolari problemi di ordine pubblico e come ci viene ripetuto in continuazione dagli zambiani: “Siamo un paese cristiano, nessuna violenza ci potrà mai essere”…ci crediamo e speriamo che chiunque avrà la carica di presidente dello Zambia per i prossimi 5 anni possa veramente fare qualcosa di buono in questo paese!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;22 ottobre 2011&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;...piccoli scontri nel Copperbelt (prevedibili essendo un'area molto interessata dal risultato di queste presidenziali) e tanta tensione a Lusaka...ma sempre moltissima calma e tranquillità a Livingstone. La gente aspetta, ansiosa ma composta. I cancelli di Olga's - The Italian Corner sono aperti e si lavora come sempre! Tiza o nana! (=a presto)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;23 ottobre 2011&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;…i risultati delle elezioni in Zambia, dopo due giorni di attesa, sono usciti: Mr.Sata (PF,l’opposizione) ha vinto le presidenziali. Ieri un po’ di scontri nel nord dello Zambia (purtroppo due morti nel Copperbelt) per la troppa attesa ma qui sempre tranquilli. Non abbiamo dormito molto questa notte. Alle 00:45 hanno annunciato i risultati e da Linda compound sono iniziati i festeggiamenti che si sono presto allargati anche in Maramba compound e in tutti gli altri compuond prima di trasferirsi in Town dove è continuata fino al mattino …ho sonno!!! Qui si festeggia nelle strade pacificamente. Sembra che lo Zambia abbia vinto i mondiali di calcio: clacson, musica e balli. Nessun avviso di problemi nel paese. Tutto OK. Mr. Sata adesso tocca a te!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWT7gO-zhvE/TpQcwpQtqOI/AAAAAAAAAmg/ERDFXnFHUt4/s1600/Bi_2011.09.23_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWT7gO-zhvE/TpQcwpQtqOI/AAAAAAAAAmg/ERDFXnFHUt4/s1600/Bi_2011.09.23_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8163232776366778819-2206630398142845586?l=olgasproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/feeds/2206630398142845586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8163232776366778819&amp;postID=2206630398142845586&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/2206630398142845586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/2206630398142845586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/2011/09/zambia-election-2011.html' title='ZAMBIA ELECTION 2011'/><author><name>Olga's - The Italian Corner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15121590492603024418</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVwZ0tIX8Q8/Ssj-j2mXF0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/jUcpMfQ5H1Y/S220/logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4V4xClmCvnM/TpQdC2r2_lI/AAAAAAAAAmo/fap0p0ipduY/s72-c/Bi_2011.09.23_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163232776366778819.post-8331504305649129970</id><published>2011-09-01T14:25:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-11T14:29:20.140+02:00</updated><title type='text'>OLGA'S: 3 YEARS!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt; &lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ENGLISH)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Happy Birthday Olga's.

In a march more than half a mile long, they protested the inferior quality of their education and demanded their right to be taught in their own language. Hundreds of young boys and girls were shot down by security forces. To honor the memory of those killed and the courage of all those who marched, the Day of the African Child has been celebrated on 16 June every year since 1991, when it was first initiated by the African Union. The Day also draws attention to the lives of African children today; this year, the Day focuses on the plight of the estimated 30 million "street children" across the continent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;18th June 2011 – As usual, YCTC celebrates the Day of the African Child welcoming more than 100 Livingstone children, coming from Linda, Maramba and Libuyu compounds, for an entertainment afternoon. All the children were divided in three teams: yellow “KUDU” team, composed by YCTC children; blue “IMPALA” team, composed by Libuyu Community School children; and red “SABO” team, composed by Lubasi Home and Lushomo children. The children, from 7 to 15 years old, challenged themselves with different and funny games: flat race, spoons race, obstacle race, bottle race, relay, skip in race, sack race. At the end of the friendly competition, these were the scores: “IMPALA” 135 points, “KUDU” 151 points, “SABO” 252 points! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all the participants!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/olgas.italiancorner/DAYOFTHEAFRICANCHILD20110618#"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See all the photos on PICASA..!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OtYMgexU6GU/TgC-hD-rH_I/AAAAAAAAAZc/7A4u3gIdSIM/s1600/Bi_2011.06.21_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OtYMgexU6GU/TgC-hD-rH_I/AAAAAAAAAZc/7A4u3gIdSIM/s1600/Bi_2011.06.21_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ITALIANO)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Nel 1976, migliaia di bambini neri scesero per le strade di Soweto, Sudafrica. In una marcia lunga più di mezzo miglio, protestarono per la scarsa qualità dell’istruzione che stavano ricevendo e domandarono il diritto affiché fossero educati nella loro lingua madre. Centinaia di giovani scolari furono uccisi dalle forze di polizia. Per onorare la memoria di coloro che furono uccisi e il coraggio di coloro che marciarono, il Day of the African Child viene celebrato il 16 giugno di ogni anno, dal 1991. Questa celebrazione ha anche lo scopo di portare l’attenzione sulle condizioni di vita dei bambini africani oggigiorno; quest’anno, la giornata si focalizza sulla piaga dei quasi&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;30 milioni di “bambini di strada” presenti in tutto il continente africano.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;18 Giugno 2011 – Come consuetudine, il YCTC celebra il Day of the African Child ospitando più di 100 bambini di Livingstone, provenienti dai quartieri di Linda, Maramba e Libuyu, per un pomeriggio di gioco. I bambini sono stati suddivisi in tre squadre: squadra gialla “KUDU”, composta dai bambini del YCTC; squadra blu “IMPALA”, composta dai bambini della Libuyu Community School; e squadra rossa “SABO”, formata dai bambini di Lubasi Home e Lushomo. I bambini, dai 7 ai 15 anni, si sono sfidati in numerosi e divertentissimi giochi: corsa, gara dei cucchiai, corsa ad ostacoli, gara delle bottiglie, staffetta, corsa dei sacchi. Alla fine della competizione amichevole, questi erano i punteggi: “IMPALA” 135 punti, “KUDU” 151 punti, “SABO” 252 punti!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Congratulazioni ai vincitori e grazie a tutti i partecipanti!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/olgas.italiancorner/DAYOFTHEAFRICANCHILD20110618#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guarda tutte le immagini su PICASA..!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KOBZddLqwsQ/TgC-4EKTR4I/AAAAAAAAAZk/WfjLb97lFTc/s1600/Bi_2011.06.21_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KOBZddLqwsQ/TgC-4EKTR4I/AAAAAAAAAZk/WfjLb97lFTc/s1600/Bi_2011.06.21_03.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8163232776366778819-8669035427080737501?l=olgasproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/feeds/8669035427080737501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8163232776366778819&amp;postID=8669035427080737501&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/8669035427080737501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/8669035427080737501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-of-african-child-20110618.html' title='DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD (2011.06.18)'/><author><name>Olga's - The Italian Corner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15121590492603024418</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVwZ0tIX8Q8/Ssj-j2mXF0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/jUcpMfQ5H1Y/S220/logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nYd1u3fo93w/TgC-MbsbUfI/AAAAAAAAAZY/WIBCTEkRlKA/s72-c/Bi_2011.06.21_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163232776366778819.post-4889330520567147099</id><published>2011-06-02T14:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-02T14:37:57.110+02:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY BIRTHDAY ITALY</title><content type='html'>&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ENGLISH)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Festa della Repubblica (literally Festival of the Republic or, in English, Republic Day) is celebrated in Italy on the second of June each year.

Le porte, le finestre, la mobilia e i tessuti delle stanze saranno invece realizzati dagli allievi della scuola. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;C’è ancora tanto altro da raccontare ma aspettiamo l’inizio dei lavori!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g4qsqOTQMh0/TdN6UW2Ci-I/AAAAAAAAAQw/rQvKKavrWpA/s1600/Bi_2011.05.16_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g4qsqOTQMh0/TdN6UW2Ci-I/AAAAAAAAAQw/rQvKKavrWpA/s1600/Bi_2011.05.16_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8163232776366778819-8193768969119284174?l=olgasproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/feeds/8193768969119284174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8163232776366778819&amp;postID=8193768969119284174&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/8193768969119284174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/8193768969119284174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/2011/05/olgas-new-guest-house.html' title='OLGA’S NEW GUEST HOUSE'/><author><name>Olga's - The Italian Corner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15121590492603024418</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVwZ0tIX8Q8/Ssj-j2mXF0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/jUcpMfQ5H1Y/S220/logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EsKSqUJshhA/TdFSjqLMWtI/AAAAAAAAAQs/8SDtdpVMws0/s72-c/Bi_2011.05.16.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163232776366778819.post-5639274085427359622</id><published>2011-05-09T17:18:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T12:37:51.463+02:00</updated><title type='text'>YCTC CATERING FINAL EXAMS (06/07-05-11)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ztqe4G8I8to/TcfogeYAEVI/AAAAAAAAALA/S8Jygr8HEMI/s1600/Bi_2011.05.09_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ztqe4G8I8to/TcfogeYAEVI/AAAAAAAAALA/S8Jygr8HEMI/s1600/Bi_2011.05.09_01.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;--&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ENGLISH)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Last week the final exams for the catering course were conducted at YCTC. The 24 students who begun the one year course on June 2010, went through theoretical and practical exams. On Friday and Saturday morning, divided in 12 groups, the students prepared the practical test: arranging a meal composed of two courses for two customers, taking care of both the quality and preparation of the food, and the arranging of the table and hospitality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;“Dancing Monkey”, “Farfalle Tuna and Olives”, “Nshima with Green Beans”, “Bruschetta”, “Chicken Wings”, “Tortillas”, “Fried Brim” ...only some of the dishes that the customers/examiners tasted during the exam. At the end of the meal, every customer was invited to give his or her opinions and evaluations. Satisfied and full, the examiners thanked the students and the teachers, Mrs. Nawa and Mrs. Nyirenda, congratulating everybody on the great job. Among the students there were also Yvonne and Regan that, after finishing the three months attachment, are continuing their collaboration with Olga’s. Waiting for the exams results, we wish all the students good luck, surely they will find a good job in catering, thanks to the knowledge and the experiences acquired at YCTC!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Meanwhile new students are in class, ready to learn and practice...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/olgas.italiancorner/20110509YCTCCATERINGFINALEXAMS#"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;See all the PICTURES on PICASA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oxrPSoYojOw/TcgMe3zJfKI/AAAAAAAAAPU/M15ppyROSGk/s1600/Bi_2011.05.09_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oxrPSoYojOw/TcgMe3zJfKI/AAAAAAAAAPU/M15ppyROSGk/s1600/Bi_2011.05.09_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ITALIANO)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;La scorsa settimana si sono svolti gli esami finali del corso di catering al YCTC. I 24 studenti che hanno frequentato il corso annuale iniziato a giugno 2010, hanno sostenuto esami teorici e pratici. Nelle mattine di venerdì e sabato, divisi in 12 squadre, gli studenti hanno preparato la prova pratica: organizzare un pasto composto da due portate per altrettanti ospiti, curando sia qualità e presentazione del cibo, che sistemazione del tavolo ed accoglienza clienti. “Dancing Monkey”, “Farfalle Tune and Olives”, “Nshima and green Beans”, “Bruschetta”, “Chicken Wings”, “Tortillas”, “Fried Brim” ...sono solo alcuni dei piatti che i clienti/esaminatori hanno potuto gustare. Al termine del pasto ogni cliente è stato invitato a fornire le proprie opinioni e valutazioni. Soddisfatti e sazi, gli esaminatori hanno ringraziato i ragazzi e le insegnanti, Mrs. Nawa e Mrs. Nyirenda, congratulandosi con tutti per l’ottimo lavoro. Tra gli studenti c’erano anche Yvonne e Regan che, dopo lo stage di tre mesi previsto dal corso, hanno proseguito la loro collaborazione ad Olga’s. In attesa di conoscere i risultati degli esami, auguriamo buona fortuna a tutti gli studenti, certi che tutti sapranno trovare la propria strada grazie alle conoscenze e alle esperienze acquisite.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;E intanto da domani nuovi studenti saranno in classe, pronti ad imparare e a sperimentare...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/olgas.italiancorner/20110509YCTCCATERINGFINALEXAMS#"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guarda tutte le IMMAGINI su PICASA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8QwBeG4AxO4/Tcfq7rIoenI/AAAAAAAAALc/lytI2_yZ0bA/s1600/Bi_2011.05.09_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8QwBeG4AxO4/Tcfq7rIoenI/AAAAAAAAALc/lytI2_yZ0bA/s1600/Bi_2011.05.09_03.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8163232776366778819-5639274085427359622?l=olgasproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/feeds/5639274085427359622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8163232776366778819&amp;postID=5639274085427359622&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/5639274085427359622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8163232776366778819/posts/default/5639274085427359622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://olgasproject.blogspot.com/2011/05/yctc-catering-final-exams-20110506-07.html' title='YCTC CATERING FINAL EXAMS (06/07-05-11)'/><author><name>Olga's - The Italian Corner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15121590492603024418</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVwZ0tIX8Q8/Ssj-j2mXF0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/jUcpMfQ5H1Y/S220/logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ztqe4G8I8to/TcfogeYAEVI/AAAAAAAAALA/S8Jygr8HEMI/s72-c/Bi_2011.05.09_01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163232776366778819.post-1121868928647918437</id><published>2011-04-27T17:25:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T09:12:59.597+02:00</updated><title type='text'>ELENA &amp; RICHARD, WELCOME ON BOARD!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;(ENGLISH)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Olgas’s is pleased and excited at the addition of two new members to our group!
