Mama in block letters with flower

In Africa, the children's education does not belong to both parents, dad and mom. It belongs to the mother. I will describe the story the African mother in the life of a family. In general, the woman is the person who gives life, after 09 months of waiting through pregnancy. After birth she is confronted with a completely different reality. She must therefore play a triple role in society because although the mother is considered as the land that gives life, she is also the water that nourishes through the breast or other method, and finally she gives the notion of balance, which is the most important, by education. Indeed, the woman in Africa, although not always recognized, symbolizes the result: good land, watered regularly with special attention. It is by this condition that the first roots will appear and the plant will become a tree capable of giving good fruit, i.e. balanced children.
