Democratic Republic of the Congo
Congo is a very beautiful country with a lot of minerals and crops. My sister and I were born in Kinshasa which is one of the largest city in Congo-DRC, there is a river that divides Congo-Brasaville and Congo- DRC. We have a variety of languages but I speak Lingala and French. Where we come from it is very hot but we also have a lot of rainy days. We have different cultural dress that we call “Maputa.” The majority of the population is of the Christian faith. Our country has unity and we fight for each other, even if we are not blood related. There may be war and poverty in the country but we hope to create change.
