Notes from Zambia

Arrival in Washington, D.C.
July 27, 2010

It has been several years since I have visited our nation's capital, and it is great to be back! Marty Tatman, with the National FFA Collegiate Team, and I hit the ground running this afternoon, putting the final touches on our FFA GO: Africa orientation program and preparing for the arrival of the Z-Team tomorrow. Marty is truly a whiz when it comes to taking care of travel, meeting and lodging details. Agenda items over the next two days include team-building activities, reflections on assigned readings and research and review of the program's objectives and expectations. We also plan on doing a good job documenting our experiences over the next three weeks, so we'll take some time to test our technology prior to departure. All of these activities will take place at the American Farm Bureau Federation headquarters as well as strategic sites around Washington, D.C.

Come on, team--We're ready for you!
