The second Zambia story I told was an example of how well Erin related to the children there. The Zambians on our medical team scheduled a football (soccer) game against a local Zambian team. A few of us Americans played in the game and several more watched the game, including Erin. Also among the spectators were several Zambian children. One child in particular took to Erin. He was about 5 or 6 years old and drifted over to where she was sitting. He walked right up next to her, then climbed in her lap. Before she knew it he was comfortably resting against her shoulder, just as relaxed as can be. It was really neat to see her interact with the children so well.
