Recordist's notes
We are sitting with Linda in front of the Binga Craft Centre. I caught up with her here after Linda had a long day of working on deadlines in Basilwizi’s office. We are facing the busiest spot in the district; the market, shops, bars and taxi rank paint a vivid ambient backing track… Linda tells about the challenges that education poses to people from the rural areas and to women in particular; as well as the added challenge young BaTonga are facing as members of a minority tribe in Zimbabwe… From: http://both-sides-of-the-zambezi.tumblr.com/
