This video was about a boy named Cheikh Dia who tells a summary of his typical Sunday. He was saying that on a typical Sunday he prays and then he has to go to school. He reads and studies at home (that is his school). He then plays with his older brother and some friends in the fields. He usually does laundry next and help his brother with homework.
At the end of his Sunday he keeps his family company. They also have a picnic and drink tea together. He said that he loves spending time with his family on Sundays. From this video I saw that American Sundays are very different from African Sundays. A lot of Americans don' t have school on Sundays.
Dior Ka Shows the Importance of Her Everyday Task of Fetching Water From the Nearby Well
In this video every day Dior Ka goes to the well and brings back water. A lot of girls in the village visit the well to get water every day as well. Once the buckets of water are full other girls help each other put the buckets on their heads witch are heavy and difficult to balance. Many women use towels under the bucket to keep it balanced.
The water is used for many things like cooking, washing vegetables, and cleaning off rice to cook with. When the food is done everyone has a delicious meal all because of water. In America people have facets with running water in them. Many people have bottled water as well. Africa has a very different system than Americans do.
Coumba Dia Shares a Behind the Scenes Look at Her Family's Meal Preparation
In this video Coumba Dia shared a look at how her family's meal are prepared. Every day the women would prepare food for the entire village. Every day they make rice, vegetables, and fish (I am guessing that, that is all they had). The women had to clean the fish with only a knife, a bowl, and water before putting the fish in the pot. They would then add all the spices to the fish. All the women have fun in the kitchen like singing, joking, laughing, and dancing.
After the vegetables, rice, and fish are cooked the whole village comes and enjoys the meal. African meals and American meal are and are prepared very different. Most people have the men cut up the fish for the women to cook. Usually preparing a fish takes more tools to do it with. In conclusion Africans are very different from Americans.
