Daily Life: Making a meal

Minenhle Majola, 13, does schoolwork at her home in Matshesi Village, outside the town of Estcourt, in KwaZulu-Natal Province in South Africa. She is a participant in a UNICEF-organized child photography workshop and a student at Lyndhurst Primary School in Estcourt. Her grandmother cooks at the stove behind her. Minenhle lives with her grandmother and ten other family members. Her mother works in a faraway town and visits twice a week; her father died many years ago. “I enjoy school,” said Minenhle, although her walk to school takes two hours each way. “I know that if I want to be a journalist in the future that I must study hard.”
