About this film
In this clip, the girls set off for school, with Memory joining Edith and Lindiwe along the path after checking in on their neighbor, Simeon. The sisters cross paths with Rebecca who's returning home with a bucket of water and won't be attending school. Lindiwe proves too slow, so Edith carries her the rest of the way. The girls are late and Edith wonders if she should play sick. Memory has a Chichewa test at school today. This is part of a 24-hour recording of a day in the life of Edith Kaphuka, a student from Ngwale Village, Zomba District, Malawi. She was 13 years old at the time of the shoot. Edith Kaphuka was a 13-year-old student at Domasi Mission Primary School in Zomba District, Malawi during her Global Lives Project shoot in 2007. The oldest of four girls, Edith has many responsibilities at her home in Ngwale Village, such as fetching water, cleaning the dishes, and gardening. Her little sister, Memory, is her best friend; when the two are together, they are nearly inseparable. While Edith and her family are Yao, they more readily speak Chichewa, Malawi's national language. This video was produced by Jason Price, Ya-Hsuan Huang, Elasto Chanza, Jessie Levandov, Harrson Topp…
