LUNDA HOYLE GILL Lunda Hoyle Gill, S '46 Portrait Artist, World Cultures Portraitist Lunda Hoyle Gill is an artist with a mission to paint the world's cultures. She has a rare taste for adventure and her life is full of risk. Lunda has shared a shower with a poisonous momba snake in Africa; traveled down a crocodile-infested river in Papua, New Guinea, to paint head hunters; had breakfast with Ghengis Kahns's 23rd descendant in the middle of Mongolia; was left on a "small table-top iceberg" by Eskimos who quickly paddled away; spent nights in jail on an island off Siberia; had a gun pulled on her in the Aleutians; was painting in Tibet two weeks after being told that she could not go there. To this day she has not revealed how she did it. The 5'2" green-eyed Gill has lived with and painted: the Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos of the United States, Canada and Mexico; the Aborigines of Australia; the Kikuyu, Masai, and other tribes of Africa; the indigenous people of Fiji, Hawaii, Indonesia, Japan, and New Zealand; Papua, New Guinea; the Philippines, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, China (including Tibet and Mongolia), and Israel. She was always interested in painting people. "The minute I picked up a pencil in a life drawing course at the Chouinart Art Institute in Los Angeles, my passion began. I love to take a blank canvas and suddenly a person's face stares back at me and comes alive," says Gill.

Apart from sightseeing, these places are also centres for a range of activities ranging from canoeing to white-water rafting and bungee jumping. For independent travellers Zambia is still a challenge - distances are long, and getting around takes persistence, particularly once you get off the main routes. But for many people, the challenge is the main attraction. Without a doubt, in Zambia you come pretty close to finding the 'real' Africa. For many years Zambia was the Cinderella of Africa, often overlooked by tourists, and forgotten by the rest of the world as disastrous politics in the 1970s and 1980s led to poverty and the virtual breakdown of the country. But by the 1990s the fortunes of Zambia changed, as a massive shift on the political scene lead to economic reforms and other improvements. Full country name: Republic of Zambia Area: 752,600 sq km

Some tribes are small, and only two have enough people to constitute at least 10% of the population. Most Zambians are subsistence farmers. The predominant religion is a blend of traditional beliefs and Christianity.
