ZAMBIA INDEPENDENCE DAY
SR. AUREA REPRESENTING INDIA
On October 24th Zambia celebrated its 44th year of independence. It was formally the British colony of Northern Rhodesia, the country was developed purely for its vast copper resources. It was grouped with Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and Nyasaland (Malawi) as part of a federation in 1953. Independence from Britain was achieved in 1964.
In celebration of Independence Day I was invited to the Presentation Novitiate house in Lusaka, where several young women from Zambia and Zimbabwe are training to become Presentation Sisters. We spent the day learning about oneanother's cultures through food, song, dance stories, drama and laughter! The sisters present represented the countries of Zambia, Zimbabwe, India, Ireland, and I represented the US.
