Yes! I think of all the folks that would be clutching their pearls about teaching women to sell drugs instead of something else, but when kids get through school, even uni, and can’t find work back home, why not? It’s not the same as the drug dealers an American would think about…but being picked up off the street for sex is dangerous everywhere. Working the fields for veg to sell in the market is dangerous with rebel groups around, even. I am glad they’ve found a way to better their lives, connect to other women, and almost have a sort of support group where men and women smoke together and just…forget that life is hard for a bit. She’s a businesswoman, mentor, and therapist, at the very least. Respect to her - and all the women choosing ganja over prostitution in a difficult place! Others like the Mbuti as well, who are making the best of an awful situation with weed, also get all my respect. Treated like subhumans, driven from their home, forced to change their way of life…but they can at least bring in a little money with weed, plus use it as natural medicine (and I appreciate their rule to only take leaves from their own plants or the medication doesn’t work, talk about good neighbors). We are all humans. We should be treated as humans. I hope, for the sake of them, the women in Goma, everyone really, that eastern Congo sees a lasting peace that doesn’t involve the west/China/Russia making a grab for resources in return for helping to rebuild and modernize infrastructure. (oops I typed too much! but to your point, again, 1000% yes, she is an angel on earth for helping these struggling women avoid prostitution.)

As a Kenyan, I've always found it interesting to listen to the way the Congolese speak Swahili in their own dialect. Naturally, I'm more familiar with Swahili spoken in the Anglophone countries in Eastern Africa such as Tanzania for example(even though there's still some slight differences) but with a Francophone country such as The DRC it sounds a lot different. I can still pick out a bunch of the words they say but I really have to make a conscious effort to listen closely so that I can have an idea of the context. I've known quite a few Congolese folks over the years here in Nairobi & I really hope things can get better for their nation in the near future. It sucks seeing a country so rich in resources essentially being looted for generations while most of its population stays living in abject poverty.

@@lucygathiri8934 africans do belong together, but if you look through history, they were never together, african slaves for example were trafficked, used and transported by europeans obviously, but everyone bought from portugal, who bought from Afonso, the king of the Kingdom Of Kongo. The only reason the Kingdom Of Kongo stopped selling their own people was because slavery got abolished by the UK 60 years or so before USA, and in todays money, possibly trillions was spent to patrol the coasts, buy the freedom of current slaves, etc. the debt we went into doing this was paid off by the taxpayer in 2012 to give an idea of just how much time, money and men were used to do this. A couple decades later after the USA abolished slavery, and the main income from the major powers in africa disappeared, only then did europe start drawing lines on maps and invaded.

@@mufasa1794 Well then id recommend that you never travel to Africa . It's not "ignorant", that word doesn't exist to us. I am brown, I come from an ethnic group mixed for generations so we're classified as coloured, a lot of things are different here. Coloured doesn't mean black and anyone light skinned is called white, it's not meant to be insulting.
