I have been a bit silent lately for the absence of a cheap internet caffe, but I decided to post at least one snapshot for the refreshment.
Below is one of the best friends I made so far in Lusaka. Her name is Be (short for Bertha) and she's turning 6 shortly. She came to live with us together with her grandmother (Munty's aunt) for a few months to learn English. In her home town of Mongu she only speaks Lozi, and she's super passionate to pick up on English so that she has it easier at school once she's enrolled. It's challenging but fun to try to communicate in English while she responds in Lozi. I think I'm discovering the underestimated value of body language, particularly smiling. Can you resist not answering her?
