Jafuta LIFE Pre-School

The road to Jafuta is just drying up, I got to a part where I
could not see what was next, so Janet and Wezi went to
check it out

Teacher Lovemore was attacked by a crocodile in January,
his injuries had healed really well 

Storage is one of the hardest things in the school, here Lovemore and Mary
have done a pretty good job by using cardboard boxes.

Drying Maize

While driving through the villages in the last few days I saw a method of drying maize that I have not seen before since being in Zambia.  Normally I see people picking their maize and laying it on mats to dry out in the sun, here they have tied it to sticks to dry upright, pretty impressive.

When these cobs of maize are dry the women will grind them and them make porridge or nshima with them.  They crops that are ready now will provide food for the rest of the year for them.  Those that have bigger fields will sell some of the maize and then they have money to buy other things.

Visited the Machenje, Ngandua and Sichilobe LIFE Pre-Schools today

Matching game for the LIFE Pre-Schools

We try to laminate all teaching aids for the pre-schools in the village because it lasts longer.  Here I am sticking the laminated pictures onto cereal boxes and we will then cut them out which makes them even more durable.

I feel surrounded!!
