Park Student Profile
Prime Kiangata
Born: Maniema Province
Hometown: Brazzaville
Prime describes his hometown:
I was born in the Maniema Province. This region of the country is where most
of people speak Swahili. In 1997 my family relocated in the capital city, when I
was about eleven years old. I lived there and learned French there.
My community is surrounded by beautiful mountains and the beach. My community is
a place of peace where you are taught values of humanity and taught to respect
everybody young and old. In my community people live the city life as it is the
busiest and biggest city in Congo. Nevertheless, people still hold the values of
living a communal life. People are very friendly and united. I knew almost
everyone around the neighborhood.
People are always busy making means to survive. There is always a traffic jam
caused by the public transport system, which also is a big cause of the noise
you will hear around the city. You will find people who are making a living from
catching taxis so they trade their spot with money, that is because the lack of
transportation meaning that the transportation is not enough for the people of
my city. Again there is a big symmetry located just in my neighborhood which is
accessible to everyone who lives in the city and other cities surrounding.
Because of that there are lots of people who come to either shop or visit.
I was involved in a youth organization whose aim was to do community service, so
I used to help around the community and organize activities with other youth or
for the entire community. As music is a big part of my country, everyone enjoys
it. The whole community will get together once in a while where we will sing,
dance, drink beer just so we all have fun. At time the community will all get
together to watch soccer. As any other city people work hard, do shopping, watch
movies, play soccer, dance, drink and go to the beach.
