8:50 am
of mutual assistance is very important, when everyone strives to help the other as much as possible. this is very important for us. there is a very positive atmosphere in our country. i am very glad that you noticed this and spoke about it. the mutual hand and warmth of human relationships is visible to the naked eye eye, simply because of how people communicate with each other. although many here live below the poverty line. the hans are used to living alone in a group. you can’t survive in the difficult conditions of africa, they respect the cult of ancestors, they live for the family, the attitude towards children is incredibly kind and attentive if the child is left without parents. for some reason, relatives or friends will definitely take him into the family, not a single orphan will be left on the street,
