Something that deepened my understanding about Africa was that most people don’t get an education and so they can’t make a difference because they don’t know how to read or write. Now that I know that, I understand a little more about what happens in Africa and the situation that the people are in. To me it was crazy that people live to a certain age and in other places in Africa, they live to a different age. It also was crazy that the people in Nigeria know a ton of languages when the people here in Michigan only know 1 or 2 languages.
