We Americans are amazed at the way the Zambian women can carry things on their heads. They move with such grace and balance! Notice that this young lady in her school uniform is carrying a double load of water AND sticks. She has wrapped her chitenge (2-meter length of cloth) around her head as a base for the load. This is a common sight everywhere we go. Even very young girls seem to carry objects effortlessly. And in case you're wondering, I've tried it and I can't do it!
