Thank goodness for best friends. For true friends, the ones who love you no matter what. - Laura McNeill, Stay Tuned
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. - Kahlil Gibran
We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. -
Stephen Hawking
Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all. - Ban Ki-moon
Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans. - Evo Morales
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed. - Mohandas K. Gandhi
We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. - Aldo Leopold,

Abby's resentment of her uncle had something to do with the excessive and unreciprocated household work she accomplished for him and how this related to her fears about her future. Her aunt had offered to move Abby to her house so that Abby could go to school. Abby was suspicious of her aunt's motives. She thought that she wanted her only for housework because Abby had proven herself to be such a good domestic worker in her uncle's house.
Abby's drawing shows all of the work she accomplished around her uncle's house--sweeping and shining the floors, straightening the bedroom, and washing dishes. I am unsure why she wrote "fail" on the bottom right side. It might have related to her concerns about her schooling. She was still out of school and worried about what this meant for her future. See Abby's comments about her schooling on pages 40 to 42 in the book.

in another drawing of women's fashion, Irene imagines her baby sister, Mary, as a grown woman, saying, "Mary put on a nice jacket in hot weather. She is going to town to see her husband. Mary lives in Matero with her husband." Her words imply that Mary is doing very well. She has a husband who works in town. She has nice clothes to wear to town, and the ability to pay the bus fare to visit him. And she lives in Matero, a neighboring residential area that has more amenities than George.

Housing is crowded in George. The average household is composed of six people who share a living space of less than three rooms. Housing types vary.
Tracy depicts a freestanding house like the one she stayed in with Sarah, her aunt. The house was composed of three rooms, a sitting room (as shown in the drawing), and two smaller rooms for sleeping and storage.

Children's attempts to stay close to sick guardians did not always work as they hoped, and sometimes they were separated during a guardian's illness.
Abby was 10 years old when her mother was diagnosed with TB and her extended family decided that she and her sister Chiko should be separated from their mother during the first part of their mother's treatment. This was a decision that Abby had little control over and one that she was against. She tried to prevent the move before it happened. She did so by becoming even more responsive to her mother and showing herself to be a good caregiver. This ultimately did not work and they were separated for several weeks.
I explain in the book the fears that Abby expressed during their separation. In this family drawing, Abby shows her mother (in yellow), her younger sister Chiko (in black), her baby brother, and herself (in red). I do not mention Abby's brother in the book. As a breastfeeding baby, he remained with their mother during her moves.

My book is about intergenerational caregiving. The previous drawings show some aspects of such care. Even though I do not examine sibling relationships in great depth, it is worth showing that Loveness and Bwalya had a close sibling relationship and also took care of each other. In this drawing, Bwalya drew Loveness sharing her book with him to show Loveness's generosity.

Children talked about the stereotypes of children who live in compounds. Such stereotypes were that children from the compounds were dirty, deprived, and ill-behaved. They obviously did not like to think of themselves in such ways.

Bwalya made this drawing of his family. He included his mother, grandparents, older sister, and younger sister (Loveness). In the drawing, he said that his grandparents were coming from their home "in the bush." His mother was taking her medication. He was playing outside, and Loveness was cooking meat for their mother. He also drew his older sister (age 17) who lived with them, but who was often absent from the household. In this drawing she was coming home.

In this drawing, Stephen (another woman's child) shows the importance of mothers as care providers to adults who are sick.
Sarah's mother had died years before. Her mother never wanted Sarah to marry Friday, who she saw as unsuitable husband material. If her mother had lived, she would have seen that things between Sarah and Friday had turned out the way she had anticipated: very poorly. Sarah's mother would have stood up for Sarah, either taking her in or staying in her home, and she would have cared for her in ways that other kin could not.
Sarah cried as she talked about her mother. Her 1-year-old daughter reached up and wiped her tears away. Sarah gathered herself, sat her daughter back on her lap, and pointed to a young girl in her house, and shouted in English: "Jean, she is my mother!"

Children placed themselves and other people on paths and told stories of what happened along the way to different places.
Mulenga's friend made this drawing, which features Mulenga in many pathways. On the left side of the page, he teased Mulenga for being afraid of snakes by showing Mulenga fighting off a snake in the road. He drew Mulenga and their group of friends going to play in an abandoned car (middle) and playing football (left). He showed Mulenga running errands for his mother, including making a trip to the kajima.
The drawing clearly identifies roads and paths as significant places for the children. The fact that the children remembered health messages in the roads better than those taught to them in the school says something about the ways in which the messages were delivered in schools. It also suggests that we widen our understanding of how and where children learn about health.

In another drawing of sibling caregiving, Bwalya shows himself getting his little sister, Loveness, water. Loveness is sick in this drawing and she sleeps outside with a blanket covering her. Bwalya goes to the market to buy Loveness a sweet drink to make her feel better and fish for the household.

Chapter 1: Growing Up in George
I began writing Chapter 1 because I wanted readers unfamiliar with Zambia to know where the Children as Caregivers project took place. I wanted to take them to this area to become familiar with the setting so they could envision how children and their guardians made choices about care. The project took place in a Lusaka-based settlement referred to as George.
Luka drew a map of "all of the places he goes" in George. He started with a country map of Zambia, with roads extending out from it. One road went to his house and the other to a market where his relatives send him to buy things, mostly food. In a nod to a specific aspect of boyhood in George, he drew the football field as large as his map of Zambia. He showed himself playing on the football field and buying in the market. He placed himself strategically at the juncture between the map of Zambia and the roadways.
By placing his map within a larger map of Zambia, Luka shows how this local experience of childhood is shaped by larger processes, including global processes.

Tracy, a 12-year-old girl, was Sarah, a 29-year-old woman's, mother. When Sarah insisted that she was her mother during my first visit, I was still unsure how Sarah and Tracy where related. I followed her statement about Tracy as her mother with a question about their relationship. Realizing that I had missed her point, Sarah repeated: "She is my mother."
This was how she was her mother: Tracy did everything that Sarah's mother would have done had she been alive. She moved to Sarah's house when she became sick, nurtured Sarah, made sure that Sarah ate and took her medicine, and shared in the house chores. Tracy even took care of Sarah's baby as if the baby were her grandchild.
Tracy made this drawing of herself and Sarah. Sarah is handing her daughter to Tracy.

If you're wondering how Sarah and Tracy are related, like I was, Tracy is Sarah's sister's child. Sarah's sister is pictured here in pink, standing next to Tracy's father and brothers. Tracy drew herself on the end in a yellow dress.
Tracy was not just a mother to Sarah; she was a borrowed child. Tracy's move is indicative of the difficulties women face and also the lengths they go to care for each other. Neither Sarah nor Sarah's sister could move out of their households without damaging their relationships or neglecting their obligations to their husbands and children. Children like Tracy become part of the flexible ways in which women care for one another when their caregiving capacities are stretched or denied.
Tracy's move also shows that gendered obligations to care for sick relatives start early. Tracy expressed a strong sense of responsibility for Sarah's well-being.

Similarly, this drawing shows several aspects of care work children provide. It was drawn by the cousin of the young girl who made the previous drawing. She writes: "What I do about someone who is sick and taking care. I first help by giving him medicine, food, helping to go for bathing, and to go and see the doctor, washing blankets and clothes, plates, cups, and cleaning his mouth."

Maureen emphasized that her children (Loveness and Bwalya) were her primary caregivers. Even though she had a number of adult relatives, they were not able to provide her with most of her care needs. She explained, "People would think it is the elders who are helping and cleaning the place, but it is the children."
Loveness drew herself helping and cleaning in her house in a drawing she made of "what I did yesterday." She is washing plates, sweeping, doing laundry, and cooking.

Community of Ronda (Amazonas, Colombia)
In a matter of several hours of heavy rain, the landscape changes dramatically, overflowing the banks of the rivers. Animals and trees adapt quickly to this new habitat where, in some parts the level of water can rise as much as 24 feet (about 7 meters). This process is involved in the migration of birds and fish and allows pink dolphins and other mammals to live in this environment. Kids don’t miss this opportunity to play and swim in the water in this Saturday morning while their parents are meeting in the community house to talk about ongoing projects.
NIH director Dr. Francis Collins speaks with Dr. Idowu Aimola of Nigeria, one of 10 fellows participating in a new program, the African Postdoctoral Training Initiative (APTI). Fellows spend 2 years in the lab of an NIH senior investigator, learning cutting-edge science while working on a research project of mutual interest. The immersion is intended to give the fellows the expertise to become research leaders when they return home and to foster col-laborations between NIH scientists and institutions in Africa.
Dr. Aimola teaches biochemistry at the largest university in Nigeria. Working in Dr. Collins' lab, Aimola will be engaged in high-tech single-cell biology and learning to analyze genomic data. His project will investigate why some people are predisposed to diabetes, a growing problem in Africa.
