Lesotho Activity Grades 6-9: Regional Differences: Schooling [Reg, Rel, P] Focus: similarities and differences between schools in the rural highlands and urban lowlands Resource: worksheet, "Alikes and Differences: Schooling in Lesotho Background: This activity is an appropriate conclusion exercise because it asks students to apply what they have learned about Lesotho in a sorting task. Students will need to consider the role physical geography has played in shaping the daily experiences of two girls in secondary school. The experience of students in urban Maseru is not all that different from that of their contemporaries in the United States. On the other hand, Basotho students attending school in the mountains often have more in common with rural American youth at the turn of the century. First, the low population density in the highlands means most secondary schools in this region are boarding schools. Second, the rugged terrain of Lesotho's interior means many of these schools lack access to electricity, running water, and educational materials. Even teachers can be in short supply. For more information, please refer to the education section in Part 1 of this guide.

Lesotho Activities Grades 3 - 5: Amaizing Maize [Rel, P, M] Focus: growing cycle and uses of a staple food; diet in Lesotho Resource: worksheet, "Amazing Maize," Background: Originally from the New World, maize (corn) was introduced to southern Africa by Europeans several centuries ago. It is now the principal food crop of Lesotho. Because it grows well in this temperate climate, maize is, in fact, the staple food for rural Basotho. The excerpt for activities #1 and #2 (printed on the next page) describes some ways Basotho cultivate and use maize. Relatively inexpensive, locally grown, easily stored and versatile in preparation, maize is a food well-suited for the dietary constraints many Basotho experience because of economic and geographic circumstances. Activity #3 examines the role maize also plays in Lesotho school menus. Despite the predominance of maize in the diet of many Basotho, students should be aware that a wide variety of foods can be purchased in Lesotho. Well-supplied by South Africa, supermarkets in Maseru are virtually indistinguishable from those in the United Statesone can buy everything from frosted flakes cereal to pizza mixes. Nevertheless, such variety is generally inaccessible to most Basotho because family incomes are too low to purchase expensive, imported food. Lesotho's geography compounds the problem by affecting distribution of those goods. The country's rugged terrain makes the development of infrastructure physically and financially difficult. Thus, the more limited a community in its access to roads, the more constraints it experiences in diet. In isolated regions of the mountains, for example, one eats what is seasonally and locally grown (maize, potatoes, beans, and peasfresh fruit is almost never available because of the elevation). In addition, many schools in both the lowlands and highlands lack access to electricity and running water. Without refrigerators, mixers, and dishwashers, food storage, preparation, and clean-up must remain quite simple. For these reasons, locally grown, dry storage foods like maize and beans/peas are common menu items in rural schools.

(ASHA) ... Climbing the Mountain Climatology Research Group Human Genetics Human Origins Links related to this article Ice rats are some of the smaller inhabitants of the kingdom of Lesotho. They are very furry little rodents which can be seen throughout Lesotho as soon as you climb higher than about 2500m. They live in colonies with a minimum of approximately four individuals per colony. During the day, they mainly scamper around the borders of the colony searching for food or sit in the sun enjoying a bit of warmth. They are not very shy as they have very few natural predators and can therefore be approached to within a close distance before they vanish into their burrows. But before long the little heads start to pop out of their holes again. At night they move into their burrows where they huddle for warmth. Left: two ice rats greeting Recently, ice rats have been implicated in the large-scale erosion observed in Lesotho. Usually ice rat numbers are regulated by the very cold winter conditions prevalent in these mountainous regions. Very often their burrows are covered in a thick layer of snow and the plants ice rats feed on are also scarce in winter. During the past few years though, the winters in Lesotho have been relatively mild and as a result the ice rat population has flourished.
