Family

Silohuette of early morning fishing boat on a lake at dawn

My father used to send us, all the family, for the holiday to my grandfather and grandmother's place. It was really fun. We used to go to the grandfather's farm to pick maize and sweet potatoes. We fished in a small river, and in the afternoon, we used to cut firewood. In the evening, all of us had a good lesson in African culture before we went to taste some good food at Sabena's where he used to work as a chef. Then we would go back to their house, and we stayed there until the holiday finished. It was a great time.
