This post begins a series chronicling my trip to Zambia, accompanied by my brother, Ben, who served as my camera man and raconteur. In this episode, I buy a dress for my granddaughter, Lucy, from a FINCA Zambia client to celebrate her first birthday. The dress is from China. I try, unsuccessfully, to persuade our client, Mavis, to source her inventory instead from the US to help our struggling economy.
