Zambian Independence Day

October 24th is Independence Day here in Zambia and Shukwe Basic, the school I live next to, had a daylong celebration. There was dancing, singing, drama, poetry and history. There are tons of kids in the town of Shukwe and they love to have a good time.
Zambia was celebrating its 42nd year of independence since the end of colonial rule. The people are fiercely proud of their country and heritage and love sharing it all with people from around the world; like me.
