SCHOOL AND CHILDREN AT INTABAYENGWE VILLAGE, VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE

   We visited INTABAYENGWE Village, a traditional village near Victoria Falls.  The village has a school adjacent to it.  The school was started and mostly funded by a tour guide by the name of Benson.  Even though we arrived at the village on Saturday, the school's headmaster (in third photo) had arranged for the children and some of the teachers to be there.

   The children sang and danced for us. It was great.  We toured the school, including classroom buildings, playground and eating area.
