Everyone Arrived Safely

I've just received word from Christine that the group has arrived safely in Lusaka, Zambia. They are now with their host Omega and probably ready for a good sleep!

Flight Tracking

Hello everyone, I just wanted to post links to a cool feature that I found! You can track the flights that are carrying our group to Zambia in real time! Just go to this website and type in the appropriate flight number. I tried to post direct links, but they weren't working for me.

Departure!

Hilary, Korlu, Maddy, Jess, Tessa, Alice, Katie, Ryan and all their families met at the VIA Rail train station today at 2:00 pm Canada time to gather for their month-long trip to Zambia. The group met early so that checklists could be checked, a group photo could be taken, and everyone could talk for a bit before it was time to go. At about 2:30 pm, everyone gave their emotional goodbyes, the luggage was loaded onto the bus, and the 8 travellers boarded the bus and found their seats. Families stayed to wave goodbye, and the bus departed for Montreal.

At 7:15 pm tonight, the group's flight leaves for Europe, and from there, the rest of the trip to Zambia is made. Everyone involved with the trip wishes the 8 travellers God's blessings and safe travels throughout the entire duration of their trip.
