A teacher's passion

Theresa’s music teacher believes music opens your heart and mind. Having loved music as a child, he developed his passion into a career.

Theresa interviews Pethezinle Divilliers Khupe, her music teacher. Pethezinle says: "Music plays an important role for a Zambian child.

"It is a part of who they are, of their history, where they have come from and what gives them strength to face the future. It allows them to be part of society."

The Zambian government has invested a lot of money in schools since independence. Teachers are respected as the lifeline to a child's future.

For the children of Zambia, music helps to focus the mind and look beyond what they can see.

Many hands, many voices

The junior choir has been practising the song, ‘Many Hands, Many Voices’ – a song that is about the importance of people coming together and offering assistance to vulnerable children, working together for a better future and a better life.

Apparently nervous, the choir performs to the rest of the school. The choir swings to the lively tune, encouraged by their passionate and supportive teacher.

The rest of the school cheer.
