The North Western Diocese, Tanzania, 1984. Students of Ntoma Home Craft School are having a relaxing knitting lesson. The school has received knitting yarn from a factory in Ikast. The yarn is no longer sold in Denmark, but the Ntoma students use it to produce handicrafts, which can be sold to supplement the tight school budget. The school students need to relax, as they have to work hard. They cultivate the fields of the school, thereby producing a large part of their food. And during the first years they should collect firewood, as well. Sometimes they had to walk 20 km in a day for this. Later the school acquired a car, but often not having petrol, the girls again had to get firewood by foot.
