African Parent Life
Life of an African Parent in Today’s World
I live in the city of Foumban, Cameroon. We are a polygamy family, I am married to four women and I have 30 children. We live in a modest home, which is built from packed earth with a straw roof. My house consists of 10 rooms: 1 for me, 4 for my wife’s and 5 for the children. That makes an average of 6 children per room.
I get up at 6am to go is the early light of day. There is life in my village at 5am when we start our Muslim prayers which wakes up the children in the village. 7am I already had gone with 3 of my wife’s to gather wood for our days meals. I farm fish at the beginning the morning I look at my pond and already know the size of my fish. I know how many fry's (frequently Nile tilapia)
