UNICEF: Zimbabwean grandmothers help build a school for their community's children
High in the hills of eastern Zimbabwe, 1,000 people who were taken to this isolated patch of forest two years ago, with nothing beyond what they could carry, have built a community and are now constructing a school. Standing in a ditch, her feet and knees hidden in soiled water, her face splattered with dried mud and her body tiring from the labour, 60-year-old Agnes Mutima looks like a worker in a diamond mine. But her goal is richer than the coveted rock. Ms. Mutima is digging deep to mould bricks and build the school. "These are our children and they need a good environment to study in," says Ms. Mutima, who has cared for her six orphaned grandchildren since their mothers died. "When it rained, these children were rained on, when it was cold they were very cold. This will now change and they will have a proper primary education."
