School chores....

At Nabwigulu, it is the children who are in charge of making sure that the school stays clean. We do things like sweeping the courtyard twice a day, we scrub the latrines, we clean ourclassrooms, we fetch water...and we collect firewood for cooking!

This is a picture of a boy in Primary 6 who has climbed a tree with an ax to cut down some extra branches to burn as firewood. Assiniboine students: can you imagine doing this?

(Note from Madame Amanda: Yes, I almost fainted in shock. And it wasn't a very small tree, either!)
