Food

• The main food they eat is different kinds of rice dishes.

• The bird kids help the African people farm and get food.

• The little kids also help the adults and as a reward the bird kids give them candy, like suckers and mints.

• Young kids and elderly people eat mushed rice with water and salt, heated to make a soup.

Terrain

• It’s very sandy and hot.

• They have lots of big, rugged mountains surrounding them.

• It’s very, very hard to farm because the soil is bad, they don’t get much rain, and it’s very hot.

• There aren't very many trees and bushes so it’s hard to find shade.

Housing

• Most of the people who live in Africa live in tents made out of animal skin and other materials like cloth.

• Some of the people who can find mud and stone make houses out of that.

• Some of the people can also afford wood and other supplies to make houses with.

Clothing

• Most people wear light, thin, raggedy clothes during the day to stay cool, and thick, heavy clothes at night.

• Most of the clothes they wear are made of cloth or animal skins.

• Women normally made the clothes while the men went to look for food.

Climate

• During the the day the temperature is very, very hot.

• At night the temperature drops down and becomes cool.

• When it’s hottest you don’t want to be outside because it’s so hot, you want to try and find shade or go in a tent.

People

• Most of the people that live in the village that the bird kids visit speak English so it’s easy for them to communicate, although some speak other languages.

• Most of the people in the village are African, but a few of them are white.

• They trade animal furs and food with other villages that are close to them.

THE END!
