The Murphy has landed!

Andrew Murphy arrived in Zambia several days ago and is sending daily updates of his activities at the Chipulukusu school.  Here's one of his posts:

I met with all of the girls in the GAP program this morning. What a fun group! After teaching them a fun interactive game using their hands in an interlocking circle, I read to them a story. "The Girl Who Buried Her Dreams in a Can," written by Dr. Tererai Trent, is an autobiography of how Dr. Trent grew up in Zimbabwe (Zambia's neighboring country) with the stereotype of not being able to go to school because she was a girl. Overcoming this by convincing her brother to teach her how to read, she eventually was able to fulfill her dream of getting an education in the United States. The most important part of her dream came true, too; Dr. Trent came back to her community in Zimbabwe and taught young girls and boys. Who knows? One future head teacher of one of our schools could be participating in the GAP program.
