Margaret Chilolo, the chair of our Zambian Steering Committee, sent an email identifying some of the most pressing emerging needs for the community schools. We had anticipated the need for books, pencils, tablets, etc. (which she named) but she also identified another need that had never crossed our minds. Latrines! When you have 210 kids in school all day you need adequate facilities. Duh! This one will definitely need attention quickly.
