*Working Towards a Better World

 

Friendship gives us the strength to turn from lambs into lions. -

Stephen Richards

 

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,

A Sand County Almanac

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

The title for this photo is a nod to an episode of The X Files, where a character Clyde Bruckman was able to predict the future.

 

Who would have predicted the future of Saint Stephen's Green in April 2020, just after the Covid 19 pandemic shutdown the street completely, for in the middle of the day, the taxi rank stood empty, along with Dublin, Ireland & the world.

 

I just call them as I see them.

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.

People of all ages reveal different things in different settings. This is why it is so valuable to pay attention to setting in research on difficult topics and also, if possible, carry out research in multiple settings. My observations of the different ways in which children talked about illness in their home and outside of their homes offers a good example.

 

In this drawing, Joe drew himself and two other children acting out a role play during a children’s workshop. The theme of this role play was "living with a sick person." Role plays were one of several activities I designed to have the children take the lead on discussions of caregiving and illness.

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.

Introduction

 

The book begins with my visit with Maureen, a woman who was diagnosed with tuberculosis (referred to as TB) and HIV, and who lived with her young children, Loveness (age 8) and Bwalya (age 12).

 

Bwalya's drawing depicts his mother in their house. He also shows his mother in front of the house, going into the house to sleep. Her stance in the drawing appeared very similar to real life at the time of the drawing when Maureen struggled to walk and keep her balance. On the bottom of the drawing, he shows Loveness cooking for Maureen. On the side, his grandmother is coming from her home in the village to help Bwalya and Loveness care for Maureen.

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.

Children's perspectives on their environment hold many lessons for the development of appropriate policies and programs. I offer some lessons on pages 45 and 46 of my book.

 

I'd like to conclude the art gallery version of this chapter with a detailed drawing of everyday life in George.

Rhoda drew a baby drowning in a drainage ditch, a car that had gotten into an accident, and the clinic where the driver of the car was taken. Other patients at the clinic were being treated for malaria and sores from "moving in rain water". Underneath the clinic, she showed a bus running into a tree and the same baby drowning.

 

She also drew a masuku tree, saying that she loved masuku fruits. And she included the standpipe where her mother gets clean water so that they do not fall ill during the rainy season.

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 a second drawing of "taking care of a sick person", Bwalya drew his mother giving him money to buy her buns at the market. Next he helps her walk, something Maureen had a hard time doing. They take a walk down the road. He points out how dusty it was outside that day. In the final scene, his mother sends him to her brother's house to get some meat that her brother was giving her family.

During my first visit with Abby, the family decided that Abby and her sister would move to another uncle's house in George. Her mother was taken to Abby's aunt's house across Lusaka to receive care.

 

Several weeks after these moves, Abby drew the people who cared for her. In this drawing, she expressed her annoyance with the uncle with whom she was staying (last figure on right). She was frustrated because he had not provided her with anything other than food. She took care of her sister and the house on her own, while he spent his days out of the house, in search of work. She missed her mother. And she worried about her future. In the middle left, she drew her father as a pencil stick figure because he had a "bad heart".

 

For a longer analysis of this drawing, see pages 61 to 63.

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.

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.

Alick drew his mother polishing their doorstep and pointed out the television and stereo that his father had bought for them.
