I am happy to note that Zambia score being published regularly in the World Sankirtan Newsletter.
I wish to attach our recent efforts in Zambia when we met the first President HE Dr Kenneth Kaunda and presented Srila Prabhupad books and Bhagawad Gita As It Is to him by HH Rama Govind Swami during his preaching visit to Lusaka with the undersigned.
Insignificant Servant

Dr. Kaunda, when he was the President of Zambia in the 80’s has long being an acquaintance of ISKCON devotees. He had a state dinner with His Holiness Bhakti-tirtha Swami around 1985. He has been a vegetarian for a long time. Iskcon was flourishing in Zambia in the 80’s to the early 90’s, and we had few local devotees who later got initiated. I was part of the initial pioneer devotees who preached in Zambia in 1982-1983.
By the way, Dr. Kaunda has since cease to be the President of Zambia. That was a long time ago when he was the president.
