Jackson Chisala, a long-time faithful school board member at Chipulukusu, the primary contractor for most of our construction projects, and an active community member is up to something new. If you look closely in the far upper right hand corner of the school yard, you'll see Jackson stooped over working. He's building a small barber shop! This has been a long time dream of Jackson's that he's mentioned several times during our Round Table discussions. He wants all of the children to be able to have haircuts whether they have money to pay or not. In addition, he hopes there will be opportunities for children to learn the trade and develop their own little businesses. In the meantime, Davis, our 5th grade teacher is planning to hang out a shingle and start trimming hair.
