What Makes a Family?

In Zambia, family is not just your mother, father, brothers and sisters.  It includes cousins (that are usually referred to as brothers and sisters if they live in the same house) and uncles and aunts (that are usually referred to as mum and dad if in the same house).  Grandparents can, also, live with the family.  How awesome would that be to have all of your relatives surrounding you!  Everyone working and serving each other to make the household work!

“Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.”
Marian Wright Edelman (born 1939);
