Burundi 5
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008
In Burundi, you could walk into about any neighborhood, any village really, and find yourself surrounded by children. Laughing, smiling children who loved making fun of the “Europeans” in their midst, calling out “zungo”, or something much like it (to my ears), which I’m sure is a term of deep respect reserved for strangers in the neighborhood.
The median age in Burundi is 16.7.
46% of the population is 14 years of age or under.
Such beauty and joy.
