Description

Angéline, Clarisse, and Bvuraga are sitting together, as Bagyeli children usually do for meals that they take separately from the adults, eating bread. A group of mostly men is sitting together next to the children in the hut. Tata is talking about the bad state of their huts, that the documentation team can see with their own eyes, and the need to build new houses. The men raise concern about the construction of the port and its impact on their village as they anticipate that roads and bridges will be built passing their village. A Bulu street vendor sells fried bean cakes to the Bagyeli and places the pot with the cakes in front of Nandtoungou. Aminu helps distributing them to the children while some men are smoking and drinking alcohol from plastic sachets. Ngolo and Segyua discuss the price with the Bulu vendor (this conversation is in Bulu with the money values in French). Ada, Ntemba, and Nadine are looking at some hornbills that are flying by, discussing which ones of the different types they are.

Description

This session captures different interactions that are going on shortly together, including an interview about the infrstructure development in the region due to the construction of the deep sea port. Then there is a sales transaction between some Bagyeli and a Bulu girl who sells fried bean cakes and a conversation between Ada, Ntemba, and Nadine about birds they are watching.
