a correspondence is on the ground reporting from across the continent. the firms doesn't matter to you. in 60 minutes, d, w. so you want to know what makes with love and banning them away from us, but i'm not even know how to work my own car. and everyone with later holes and every day get in, are you ready to meet the german can join me, rachel stuart on d. w. 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, la, illinois, our girls often we bought a child headed household and carpet we hadn't seen a d rush was in her 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 tree 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, lottery terminals or treacherous dishes, are no locally just like this one yet in acura, et cetera. wayne. 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 churches to have the pixies, as to what she pets all over the country. i'll fill in the auditorium of the various churches and what will only did be without a beach the across the country, families and young people will spend time thinking the king and having a drink. so you see there was enough room for everyone for making mary. this christmas season christmas is a big dealing camera, but the build of the christmas have been bigger. this is the period where a lot of people want to achieve the 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 in the re dos to a lot of money, not just to buy spot 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 molten decorated with different ornaments. and so many lights. but the facilities don't happen in a capital. vintage families are gearing up to travel to the villages or funds to visit the grandparents or relatives and enjoy some quality time together. they'll be so much food salad, some proper meat and pie. don't forget the music of that is the christmas bad amos christmas income. paula is mainly about mary making. no one understands that be done. the business community christmas time is about the come all business. if you want to mark my view of what you need to go, formulate shopping for the festive season,

but also christmas income. paula is like i'm exhibits as a formulas travel to the countryside to celebrate together. but in no way told goes back to one thing. you've got christmas eve about food to many of us christmas. we've got a big meal is not worth it. and yeah, lagos, nigeria, dawning places the decorations such as these i made up of christmas celebration, but it was gonna look like this is how many nitro, especially thought of christmas celebration many. and i just come and go to be the reason what it will appeal after christmas in the country on the hustle and bustle of life and little entertainment of these records will brighten. i live on it's not about i

i love seeing how either 77 percent of my this holiday season in 10. yeah, 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 has your christmas been impacted? nathan from nigeria save the economic hardship really changed my christmas plant to travel to the village to celebrate. but it's not possible any more we have to make do with the verbal and changing jobs from the barrier essays since the 14 year long civil war ended who's must have 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 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 capital, a cra these young guardians are busy working on a festive project to name the building a christmas tree. what up twist, this tree is made entirely out of plastic bottles mccaffery, 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 your empty bottles to our woocommerce workspace. in a crop was the bottles have been sorted out, i guess, to wet, prepare them for their new life as a tree. then his health is fred, them carefully from both ends with a rope and fastened them around a would be cheese metal bulls, the founder and c. u of the sustainability. and you look in touch. africa has been running this project for 6 years now. it's become something over christmas tradition for communities around a craft 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 want to make sure that the plastic window wasn't in bed in there moment to was we are recycling that he also creates an upside code installation that we believe our par for advocacy to. so keith influence in people's behavior once they are ready. yup. cycle,

plastic christmas, cheese 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 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 rate at 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 bottles into a christmas tree. it's very nice if it was really bad and i prefer this type of christmas tree to normal cheese the way they have been built. it is very attractive. i have bought this this nice. i like introduced a new way of that, a christmas tree. there's plastic, which is now becoming a new rail. celebrating christmas. you can buy one of these christmas trees for yourself. all ill set you back anywhere between 300 to 500 years. but what the eco minded these plastic trees make a great gift for the environment, and are a whole different flavor to the you tied? 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 without some present? well, i got myself a little gift. what did you get to laugh one? how about some custom sneakers, south african sale below you? forward his 1st collection of mesh and because from the trunk of his car in the tough johannesburg probab alexandria noble, he owns one of africa's only. gen winston. he cut bronze. let's rock those cheeks. i always need to think that excellent and greatness comes from troy, 5 things. but if you read and look at the people that are grading the ones you're always had a call to say. i simplifies one job. one job that provided for me in my family, instead of a business that provided for 300 products, more families in the back room and the depth of a very good township, commonly known as gomorrah by the local, was we field 1st week edition was born,
