I have been taking photos for 57 years since 1967. My father bought be a cheap plastic camera while we were at Kasonjola Primary School in 1967. To day I found this beautiful lovely photo. This is my niece Alice, the first-born daughter of my first-born oldest sister Mrs. Mtonga. Alice was probably about 3 years old while visiting my mother, Alice’s grandmother Enelesi Kabinda. My grandmother has just given Alice a bath. My late mother’s other names were a NyaNthula or a Mphikira Nkhondo. My mother is in the back ground cooking. On her back is my 8th born younger sister Theresa or Anyina Gasion Banda. This was 55 years ago in 1969 or 1970 at Kasonjola Primary School north of Chipata along the Chipata Lundazi Road. The other two are children I have encountered duirng my long Freelance photography as a public service.
