Swinging College Students

Humphrey (left) and Sam are demonstrating the fine art of lawn mowing in Zambia. Here the job is called "slashing" and each young man is wielding a "slasher." Keeping the grass cut is a constant task here at Namwianga. Each group of students spends one class period per week doing grounds duty: slashing, tending the flower beds, or raking. The school supply list at some of the secondary schools includes pens, notebooks, a ruler, and--a slasher!
