Not just Grandmothers

Graceland team visiting Mpongo family
We were so impressed when we visited the Mpongo family with the Kafwa.  The grandfather is the head of a big household of eleven people composed of his two daughters and eight grandchildren.  Three of the boys are in the 7th grade and the other four are in lower grades at our Kasompe School of Peace.  Grandpa Mpongo was thrilled to have us visit and excited to see all of his grandchildren in school.  A family this big is rarely able to afford school and extremely grateful to have a community school like ours nearby.  If he thanked us for coming once, he thanked us 25 times!
