Rich and Poor

Kumisso discovers the different standards of living in Botswana between the rich and poor.

Brewing beer

Kumisso goes to meet ‘Granny’ (it’s the name she’s been given) and asks her about her life. Granny has five children, but four of them she does not see.

Since they do not help her, she must earn a living to support herself and her disabled daughter.

She has been taught a skill by SOS Children. Granny brews and sells traditional beer to the community.  It makes her sad that she does not see her other children, but Granny works hard. And from the money she has earned from her new skill, she has built a loving home.

A life lesson learnt

Kumisso may have learnt a lesson.  In the video, when filming footage of Granny and her daughter, he remarks:

“But she seems so happy.”

Does money make you happy? Not always!
