Name: Fintan McCarney Home Town: Dromore (Co Tyrone) Occupation: Plaster When did you go to Zambia: June 07 | |
What first made you get involved with The Spirit of Paul McGirr project in the parish of Lusaka, Zambia? I liked the sound of the experience and the challenge they were presenting. Also it was a chance to meet new people and experience different cultures. What did you image Zambia to be like? I was expecting a very poor country, with limited resources and harsh living conditions. What were your first impressions of Lusaka, was it anything like you had imagined? I was very surprised by the social division. There is a large divide between the rich and poor. I didn’t expect their to be shops, bars and restaurants in Lusaka. Did you enjoy the experience? Yes, I thought it was a brilliant experience and I would love to go back. Has the experience changed you in any way? I definitely feel that it has opened my eyes to the important things in life. I feel humble for what I have and I don’t ‘cry’ as much about the small pointless things!!
