BORN TOO POOR, BUT TOO FREE IN THE LIFE! Through this photo, I remember my own childhood in the savana. It wasn't a great moment, full of richest, but it was very wonderfull, very sweet. We were so free and so happy! At that time, we didn't know even the simply name of any kind of weapon. Our great occupation was the capture of rats in the savana. No one could tell us not to deal with it. It was our favorit game first, but after the animals were killed and eaten as a fiesta!
But nowadays, children have no time to play in Africa, they have enherited wars, blood, and violences...
Do you still remember your childhood? Tell me enough.

hey man what do you mean by "It wasn't a great moment, full of richest, but it was very wonderfull, very sweet."
RépondreSupprimerdo you mean that it was a good time but there were certain disadvantages?
well I don't think I had a comparable childhood in HK - a pretty cool place to grow up! i remember going outside a lot and playing in the jungle area behind our apartment; bike riding and skating in town; rowing and hiking...
do you think that every child who grows up in Africa now has a terrible time? is it surely worse than before?
I don't think every child who grows in Africa has a terrible time. If their family can provide for food, school it's OK. But we can't deny the fact that many of them have to help a lot and don't eat enough. The access to education is not very good. Lots of teachers don't earn enough money so they ask money to their pupils....
RépondreSupprimerI can say I had a nice childhood and can thank my parents for that. But I was born in France and it makes a difference !
''it was a good time but there were certain disadvantages?'' Exactly! A very nice and cool moment. I mean by disadvantages here the lake of money, we were poor, but we were happy and very proud to be children. So far from yours,I'm not going to compare Europe to Africa, the difference is to deep.
RépondreSupprimerOk, I'm happy to read you about this point, Marilena. Here I'm dealing with the general vision of childhood in Africa, beacuase the great part of those children are from rural areas, among powerty, where getting a plat of food by day is a great competion. In that case education at school is a second occupation.
RépondreSupprimerheh Amidou I think you mean the "lack" of money! a 'lake' of money would be something quite different :)
RépondreSupprimeralso for your word 'plat', say "meal" (repas): getting one meal a day is a great competition
Ok, David, now I agree with you, the leçon has been understood. Thank you.
