My African Experience In Class

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The most valuable thing that I learned was that Africa is a richly varied country. The most valuable lesson that I have learned was yhe historical events that led up to the country that it is today.

The only thing that I wish I could have done differntly was to interview a native African to get additional insight on each assignment. It would have been a great opportunity to hear about the daily life of a person from such a great countey.

I actually learned more than expected in this class. I was hesitant at first because I thought it would be boring. This was totally not the case. I stayed captivated the entire twelve weeks.

I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to know more about Africa. I wish there was a part two.

Valentines Day in Africa

Africa does not celebrate Valentines Day, except for the urban families in Africa. However,  Africa contributes to America's Valentine Day every year. They send over 70% of cocoa to the United States in order to make a number of foods that includes chocolate for lover's day.

And let's not forget about flowers. Ethiopia export flowers to the United States and they went from making less than 1 million dollars to 190 million dollars exporting flowers to United States.

Africa plays a part in this huge day for Westerners every year. Let's remember them each time we celebrate Africa.
