Something yummy from Central African Republic.

   Last week we studied Central African Republic as our country of the week. It's not an easy country to study because of the unrest and civil wars that discontinued almost all the tourism. So it's almost impossible to find any videos on a country that is too dangerous for tourists to go to. I didn't feel discourage, though, and use that as a topic of conversation with Monkeys. We read short introduction to Central African Republic and examined their map and flag. We then talked about the troubles the country has been in. The good news is that I did find 2 YouTube movies that showed Monkeys something about Central African Republic other than war. The first video is about one of the indigenous tribes in Africa, the BaAka pygmies, and their songs.

The second video is done by one of the volunteers for MercyCorps and it's about seed distribution to families living in one of the poorest of countries. Monkeys and I had a conversation about seed keeping and farming and feeding families, and why volunteers are doing such a great job helping.
