i am in europe, northern most count please. ah, 3 times long. but still very much alive. do you travel your guide to the city in germany? europe recognizes where exactly one learned a lot more. culture, history. d, w, travel extremely worth a visit. ah, it's the holiday season. merry christmas to all of you from the 77 percent. my name is wendy camara. let's get this party started with christine or not.

we are well and truly into the festive season here at the 77 percent. i mean, just look at what we have prepared for you. we definitely have some very special christmas present, ganawe's capital law. in the long way our girls often we bought a visit that child headed household and carpet we hadn't seen a d. rush was off in have beautiful town. pay on christmas is an important holiday for millions of people around the world. but not everybody celebrates in the same way. some people go to church, others put up a christmas street or have a big feast with a family. so we asked our correspondence across the continent. how do you celebrate your christmas? take a look. if you want to enjoy the festive, dizzy in ghana, then laura terminals all truck transportation is not there. no locally. just like this one yet in acura. ah,

it sets off point because for those who spend most of the year in the city, it is time to spend the holidays with really thieves and loved ones in that village of calls just to have the pixies, as to where she passed all over the country. are fill in the 2 rooms of the various churches and what would a holiday be without a beach, the across country, families and young people will spend time picking the key and having to drink. so will you see there was enough room for everyone to make merry this christmas season? christmas is a big deal in come room, but the build of the christmas have been bigger. this is the period where a lot of people want to achieve their live goals. so many people want to get married just before christmas while others want to move to a new property. african families are large. so individual, so a lot of money, not just to buy stuff for their immediate family members, but also for

a long list of extended family members. so everyone can have a happy christmas celebration. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas in my country, namibia, just like here in germany, the christmas lights are up in the capital vintage. and the motor decorated with different ornament and so many light. but the facilities don't happen in a capital. vintage families are gearing up to travel to the villages or funds to visit the grandparent or relative and enjoy some quality time together. they'll be so much food fellows, some proper meat and bride. don't forget the music, of course, that is the christmas bad amos christmas income. paula is mainly about merrymaking and no one understands bad preacher. done. the business community christmastime is about all business. if you want to mac, my vo paternity. the formulas shopping for the festive season but also

christmas and from paula is like i know with us as a formulas trauma to the country tried to celebrate together. but on the way to go back to one thing you've got christmas is about to many of us group. martin got a big meal, is not welcome. him and harry lagos, nigeria, our darling places declaration, thought of these. i am made up of christmas celebration, but if what christmas look like, this is how many and i drove especially live, but they're pretty close on the bridges. many and angels come to enjoy the beauty of this region, which will be here. it will appeal after curriculum in the country on the hospital, on buffalo life, a little and german of these gregory, so we're right in our lives on it's not about a year. i

love seeing how either 77 percent as much this holiday season in kenya, i would peak family, get togethers as the typical way to mock the season. you know, people traveling a country to spend time with the parents, the grandparents and extended family. but this is christmas might look different for many of us across the continent, sky, rocketing prices and inflation have put a damper on celebrations. so we asked you on social media, how have you christmas been impacted? nathan from nigeria save the economic hardship really changed my christmas plan to travel to the village to celebrate. but it's not possible any more we have to make do with the verbal and changing judge from the barrier essays since the 14 year long civil war ended christmas has been,

was celebrating. but that's not the case now because the economy is paralyzed and because of but governments, there is, but living conditions for the poverty stricken masses. thanks so much for sharing with us. i really hope you'll have a wonderful christmas despite these challenges. now when it comes to christmas trees, there are many different models in the market, and we found a very special type in gunners capitol, a cra these young onions are busy working on a festive project. today. they are building a christmas tree. what up twist, this tree is made entirely out of plastic bottles. my coffee, our crew is a brains behind the idea. dark rubbish. environmental activist already knows a thing or 2 about up cycling. for the festive season, he likes to top into his creative side. he mobilizes young people in his community to build these christmas trees as an alternative to the traditional kind. all of

these plastic bottles come from dum sites. residents who want to lend a helping hand, can also bring the empty bottles to our woocommerce workspace in a crop. once the bottles have been sorted out the guest to wet, prepare them for their new life as a tree. then his helper spread them carefully from both ends with a rope and fastened them around a would be cheese metal balls, the founder and c. u of the sustainability. and you look in touch africa has been running this project. the 6 years now has become something over christmas tradition for communities around across as the crown my something last come to stay. and before i effect fans or, or with at the end of every year. and what we do is wanna make sure that the plastic window logo in, back in there, lohman to was we are recycling that he also creates an upside code installation that we believe our par for advocacy too. so keep influencing people's behavior

once they are ready. yup. cycled plastic christmas trees are displayed across the city for everyone to enjoy. they are not your typical christmas vibe, but that's also the point. it's no mean feat. eda, every tree takes between 4 and 6 hours to build using a total of $1200.00 plastic bottles each. but for volunteers like more, it's worth every minute. so the fact that we are contributing the change to the environment and the fact that we also help and reduce the results which our plastics go boxing it, go back into the ocean and on our streets. that is what motivates us all the time and, and keep us more ginger to do more of this. but it's a night when the trees beauty really comes alive. they are covered with festive lights, drawing attention of locals like a moth to a flame. they are obviously

a big hit with a community. there are mirandi the way they arranged the buttons into a christmas tree. it's very nice if there were 3 data, i prefer this type of christmas tree to normal cheese. the way they have been built, it is very attractive. i have bought this machine. i like introduced a new way of that. a christmas g. there's plastic waste is now becoming a now a new rail. celebrating christmas. you can buy one of these christmas trees for yourself, although it will set you back anywhere between 300 to 500 years. but what the echo minded these plastic trees make a great gift for the environment and are a whole different flavor to the yuletide? celebrating christmas with climate change in mind. a creative solution and yet another reason why the 77 percentile. simply rock. now what would be christmas
