RELIGION:
Sileye, a young boy, showed us how they pray in their country. religion is very important in Africa, live it is in some countries. they have rituals that they must do before each prayer. Sileye washed his hands, and made sure to put up the pot. because I'm sure water is scarce there. then he placed out his mat so that he can sit down for prayer. they didn't have floors there, just sand. then he began to pray. the same way he does 5 times a day. everyday.
In many ways do we take things here in America for granted. we have food and water available almost 24/7. and we have floors, streets, and sidewalks. and we don't make religion a number one priority...
SCHOOL:
Debo Deme, a young girl, showed us what all she has to do in the mornings before school. she has to wake up early in the mornings and sweep her yard. then she has to go to the nearest well to gather water for her and her family. which is a very long walk, especially with a large tub of water. and then she heads off to school.
She has many responsibilities she has to take care of before she goes to school. many people do their own thing when it comes to daily ruteans. not caring about their other responsibilities. so watching this video can be very inspiring, not caring about your own needs but the needs of others. :)
