A common scene in a Congo village is the picture of young girls taking care of their younger siblings. But occasionally, you see young girls taking care of their younger siblings while doing their other chores.
Chores include getting water, getting firewood, grinding corn or cassava, and washing clothes.
With so many chores, these girls do not always have time to go to schools. And if they go school, sometime they can not attend regularly because of those chores.
These young girls learn from their mothers. Congolese women multi-task routinely. Doing two or three things at once can be detrimental to a young girl's education and future.
