Residents living in District 2 had the opportunity to meet with City Councilman Jon Snyder in a more relaxed setting today. Snyder hosted his first Mobile Office Event in an effort to connect with the community.

“The more time I spend in City Hall the less I can do my job,” says Snyder. He and his legislative assistant answered questions and chatted about resident concerns at The Shop in the South Perry District.

Councilwoman Amber Waldref has also held Mobile Office events, and Snyder says it was peer pressure from her that inspired him to set up shop over lunch today. Not everyone wants to come down and stand up in front of the entire council in front of the Channel 5 cameras explains Snyder.

Kay Van Epps is one of those people and when she went to The Shop for coffee and a muffin she was more than willing to join Snyder's table.

Zambia is one of the most peaceful countries in Africa, but it is also one of the poorest and has one of the world's most devastating HIV and AIDS epidemics. In the village of Zambezi, many of the people lack food to take with their medication, but students at Gonzaga University are working to change that.

Zambezi has a population of about 7,000, similar to Quincy, WA. Now, imagine if 83 percent of Quincy lived in extreme poverty, many of them were positive for HIV/AIDS, and the life expectancy was only 49. That is the reality for the people of Zambezi.

Across the country of Zambia antiretroviral medication is readily available, but the people of Zambezi are too poor to maintain the proper nutrition for the treatments to be effective. The impact goes beyond individual health.
