The season for hats, jackets and blankets has already begun. A smiling Adamson confirms this. Evenings and mornings can already be really cold. 2 degrees at dawn is no longer African summer, but full-blown winter. However, in Zambia winter does not mean that it is grey, dull and gloomy. It is still green, especially in Kasisi.
The fruit trees, flowers and green grass are all thanks to the sisters who, by creating a garden around the home, teach the kids to take care of their surroundings and recognise the beauty in nature. This is not at all obvious, as no one tends gardens in the villages. A flower here usually just means that there will be fruit, and does not inspire admiration.
So it’s green in Kasisi. Here is Boyd who was caught watering the lawn in the morning, Catherine sneaking ripe oranges (the green ones are perfect, so we’re not surprised), and Rita and her pet in a green entourage.
So green and full of smiles is our Kasisi. Full of smiles also thanks to you!
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
