Lubwa Mission, Chinsali

bulletGPS:
bulletDirection: 8km SW of town on the road to Ilondola
bulletDescription: an early Church of Scotland mission station, started in 1905, with church, hospital, schools, now rather run-down and derelict looking.
bulletComment: Lubwa was the birthplace and home of Kaunda, Zambia's first president. It had been his father's mission station, and is his parents' burial place. Despite many promises by KK (and recently Vice-President Mumba) to help renovate the station, nothing has been done, and this charming old mission is degenerating fast
