Monday morning Muumbe showed us her school in Lusaka. It is no wonder it is
growing as 100% of the children have passed the 7th grade exam 2 years in a
row! They added one classroom this year and are using the porch of the
house for another classroom. This makes a total of 4 classrooms and 60
kids. Even the Minister of Education send his children there!
After a day of rest on Sunday, lots of ladies were picking and buying
cabbages again today. They all carried them in sacks on their heads. It
seemed sort of a competition to see who could carry them without using
their hands for balance.
We spoke to one lady who we had seen on Saturday. She said she had a good
day selling in the market and was very blessed. There were also many other
workers tilling the soil in preparation for transplanting from the nursery
and fertilizing.
After breakfast we went to visit a tractor and auto mechanic Agrippa. He
has been in business for 6 year. He buys junk tractors, restores them and
sells them. He even gives a 1 year warranty with each restored tractor! He
is by far the most knowledgeable mechanic we have met. He said his biggest
challenge is obtaining parts.
We then stopped by an agricultural supply store to inquire about a few
things. Then lunch at KFC. We decided against the nshima with our chicken
and ordered fries instead. Delicious.
