Nandi Mweene #1014 above is 12 years old and in the 3rd grade. Alex Mubanga Moonga #1015 below is 7 years old and in the 1st grade.
Charles Mweemba Hero #1016 below is 9 years old and in the 3rd grade.
These are the Mweene family children. You may notice that the 3 girls started school very late. This happens a lot when families can not afford to send all of their children/grandchildren to school. It is usually the girls that will be chosen to stay at home. The average child in Zambia starts first grade at the age of 7, but Annita did not get to start school until she was 9 years old. If they do not get support, it is highly likely that when the family does not have enough money to send all of the children to school, the girls will be pulled out.
