Christin, who is in Ethel's class, has started learning how to write the numbers 1 and 2. She would rather sit on the floor than on her desk, as she says that way she is able to write properly. Hmmm.

Shoes, shoes. The little ones take off their shoes when going into the computer room because they have to sit on the carpet in order to participate in Genki lessons.

The baby class is fun to be with. It reminds me of when I was young, though in those days things where different. Here they listen to Teacher Joy, who is operating the computer and explaining a Genki lesson.

Marian with her little baby brother Peace going home after having lunch. Marian had nshima, while Peace had milk.

Baby Peace growing so fast and cute.

Bright poses for a photo. He is so naughty and always asks for a photo when he sees you.

Little Sydney was a student in Ethel's class last year. This year he is a Grade 1 student at Government School. He is one of the youngest picked from the many students taking the qualifying test conducted at Government School.

Grade 7 students who are in the Girls Program pose for a photo outside the library.

In Veronica's class busy writing, little Christabel could not go Government School because her grandma could not afford the school fees. She is back at Living Compassion and in class.

Remember Jane? She is now all grown up and in Grade Four at Government School. She was one of the first students that started with Sister Phil's Genki program that is still in place at Living Compassion.

Josephine in the library going through a maths book. She is back after going on maternity leave.

Thomas smiles for the camera. So cute!

The twins Rhoda and Charles enjoy playing around the property. Their parents are both HIV positive and follow the proper medical process. These two are both negative and they get all the care and love from other family members because their parents shared the news with the family. This is not very common in Zambia. The community applauded them for the bold step they took.
