You rarely see dolls in African villages since children are tasked with caring for siblings at a young age. It is not uncommon to see a 7 or 8 year-old child carrying a toddler around on her back. But all of us were amazed at this little girl! The "baby" she carried was almost as big as her! The little pre-school "mama" squatted down on the ground, helped the smaller child climb aboard, tied the chitengi (cloth) around her waist to keep the child in place, struggled to her feet, and finally ambled off down the path. Next time you have an aching back think of the load this little trooper carries!
