Steph Versteeg moved to Zambia in January with VSA, to teach in the capital of Western Province. After nearly one month of training in preparation for work in Zambia’s 14 teachers’ training colleges, Steph was placed at Mongu College of Education. Here she worked  with the college to establish the Teachers AIDS Action Program, with the support of Student Partnership Worldwide (SPW), the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders. Steph returned to New Zealand, and the Sustainable Future Institute, in January 2020. We had a team lunch in February for Steph to talk to us about the work she did in Zambia, and to show us some of her photos from the trip.
