Three months in Zambia – If you don't know what to do in Zambia, then either you're foolish... or you don't deserve to be here!? A big high five to everyone, and an even bigger greeting to the newest members of the group! So, well... it's been quite a long time since I've written anything about our Zambian adventures. The...
We celebrated Earth Day with the students of Pap Village. On April 24th, we visited the Kölcsey Ferenc Primary School in Pap, where the president of our association, Péter, presented our short films to the children.
The guy in the picture is called Nelson. But we just nickname him "Peanut Guy." About a month ago, we struck up a friendship when he approached us in the city center and tried to sell us roasted peanuts. We're not big fans of buying from street vendors like this because most of the time we end up paying 2...
There is a community in Africa where people live in such extreme poverty that their daily challenges include access to clean drinking water and securing enough food to survive. In this environment, the people do not know what tomorrow will bring… who will live to see it and who won't.
We participated in a waste clean-up action organized by Nature Centrum Nonprofit Kft. and the Fekete Rigó Guesthouse, along the Győrtelek section of the Holt-Szamos, with the involvement of local volunteers.
This time, I won't bore you with any unusual talks. Instead, I've brought you a traditional Zambian dish: Nshima, Kapenta, Chiwawa, and a little bit of red beans.
My friend, Arnold. Arnold is one of the drivers and also a colleague at the DAPP organization. He was one of the drivers assigned to take care of our team on the day of our arrival, making sure we were safely transferred from the airport to our accommodation.
I really love going to the market, and I have good reasons for it.
The atmosphere at the market is always great. There's a wide and high-quality selection of vegetables and fruits. The freshly baked sausages and blood sausages (with plenty of mustard, of course) are delicious and affordable. On top of that, being able to haggle...

There's Been Every Kind of "Flood," and As Promised, Now We're Going to Get a Little Gross After Lunch
... So that I don't bore everyone with all the heavy content, here's a lighter, more digestible photo post!
I think I can now definitely say that after a month, the majority of the challenges and difficulties that come with living in an African environment have shown themselves. The initial novelties have turned into routine, and the faster pace of work that we were used to has been considerably slowed down by the working tempo here... it's still hard...

Peter Returns from the Antarctic Expedition.
Hello again! Big high-five to everyone!
Now that Péter and I have "conquered" the cold Antarctica, let's head to a warmer climate, say all the way to Zambia! Welcome to Zambia, Ndola!
Péter arrived to Antarctica the day before yesterday! The exciting journey, which started on January 24th, began with flights from Budapest to Amsterdam, then Amsterdam to Buenos Aires, and from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia. From Ushuaia, the adventure continued aboard the Quark Expedition ocean liner through the Drake Passage to Antarctica. As the ship...
