Replace singing with soccer, and you could have five people or 100 people watching. The crowd usually consists of kids that hear something [...]

Nothing is quick in Cameroon

Work here in Africa is very different from back home in the U.S. Just preparing a meal takes many hours, and depending on the meal, preparation can begin days in advance.
