Respect in action

School boy receiving certificate from Theresa

There's more to learn in school than reading and writing and math.  One of the important foundational attributes taught in the Zambian schools is RESPECT.

Theresa, the School Board Chair sent this picture recently and wrote, "The child you are seeing receiving the attendance certificate, that child is kneeling that is the way we show respect for elders in our culture and that is how we tell that this child comes from a home where there are good morals."

Kneeling in respect would also commonly be seen when a Zambian woman hands something to her husband.
