Senior Citizen Appreciation Day

   November 7th, 2008 was Nata village first ever Senior Citizen Appreciation Day for seniors. About 60+ seniors attended, at about the ages of 65 and above. The group celebrated with dancing and laughing, “which to me sounds great for them because laughing is the best form of medicine and dancing is the best kind of exercise, well for the seniors that is,” with members of the community. After speeches by influential members of the community, seniors were treated with a lunch provided by the amazing Post Office Staff. This was amazing for both the seniors and the community, and they hope that this event would be the beginning of a long lasting appreciation for the seniors in Nata village.

Hard at Work

   The children in Botswana culture learn how to be productive and hard working citizens at an early age. They begin doing house and cattle chores before and after school. They have to pump water and make bricks for their homes, “definitely hard work.”  They also have to follow their parents to the cattle post and help gather their animals. “Basically waking up at the crack of dawn and feeding the animals and getting water for the day, then going of to a long day of school and studying and then having to watch the animals and more chores. Its harder than what you may think, they are definitely hard workers.”
