Today the Team Mutomo girls shadowed the girls at Fatima Boarding School. Like Vis, Fatima is an all-girls, rigorous high school connected with a convent. The Fatima students could not have been more welcoming! We had in-depth, educational conversations as they have many questions about life in America just as we do about Zambia. We followed the students' busy schedules with an early wake up call to attend 6:45a.m. breakfast consisting of biscuits and tea before a long day of work. Students at Fatima take excellent care of their school; therefore, following breakfast, everyone takes off to do their assigned chore. My chore was to sweep the dead bees in the chapel that had made their way in from their yet-to-be-found hive nearby. Next we were off to the six classes of the day including home management, a class to teach girls everyday skills for being a mother and taking care of a home. After classes, the girls taught Natalia and I how to wash our clothes by hand; so, after amusing the Fatima girls with our sub-par laundry skills, we finally took care of a week's worth of laundry! We are blessed to have spent an incredible day at Fatima and eagerly await what another day in Zambia has in store!
