Chores in Zambia- Doing Laundry



The girls in the family are the ones responsible for getting the clothes clean, too.  No washing machines here, unless you are speaking of the HUMAN washing machine.  If you have never washed clothes by hand, give it a try!  I lived in Mexico for a few months, and I was able to experience this first hand.  You need a wash board or other hard surface to scrub against.  If you decide to try it out, make sure you get all of the clothes that you usually wash and try to clean them all in a day.  Don't forget to hang them on the clothesline afterwards.  This will give you a whole new appreciation for your sponsor child and just how much they do for their families (in addition to going to school)!!  Incredible children!
