You know about the latest building craze??? Plastic water, etc. bottles stuffed with plastic bags and then with bags stuffed in between them as they are stacked in between chicken wire to form tall walls, then plastered or cemented over.

Google plastic bottle walls on youtube..........loved the song again..

Very nostalgic, to see many of my friends in Suzana. It's where we live and work, where we greet each other with Kassumay! (peace, health and well being to you!)

[WindCatcher2008]

A very touching video made by sensitive people who can seen the humanity of these people shining through and embrace them without a trace of condescension. The world needs more people like these...

I stood there with a friend from The Gambia (on rootstour),one of the best times of my life. Saw Bissau from inside, was allowed to live with the nice people in a family-compound and stood lucky in any way! BLESS

Spent a wonderful 2 weeks in the area around Binar just after the civil war. Was assisting schools with equipment, and also soccer kits, balls, goals etc. Lovely country and such beautifully friendly people. Would love to return....

[joanaso]

Ainda tem muito que se descobrir de um lugar tão rico... Que se livrou da guerra a tão pouco tempo.

Great images of Bissau. i would like to know the country and culture. The respect for all cultures is a biggining to the world peace.

Um dia gostaria de saber ao que se referem a Africa quando se fala do cheiro da terra, do calor das pessoas e da música. Qual é o cheiro de Africa?! Um bem haja para o projecto e para todas as pessoas que abdicam das suas vidas para ajudar os que mais precisam.

Have you thought about Earth Bag construction for the highschool?? It only takes plastic bags and barbed wire to construct the walls, using on site dirt. Very inexpensive and very fast.

I have been taught to love Bissau by friends who studied at the University here many years ago in Tucson, Arizona.

Really nice movie, the pictures and the music moved me so much. Thank you for this. I spend six month in Bissora and really felt the wanderlust again after watching the movie. I miss it so much ...

[brazilhead]

Thank you so much for this fantastic video. The sights, sounds, and excellent music moved me very much and filled me with longing to return to this beautiful country inhabited by perhaps the world´s most noble people.

[sabaly]

thanks for the gracious words. it is a wonderful country, and even finer people. what is your connection to the place? i do some work in Africa as a consultant and had the opportunity to do this, which was more of a vacation. i hope to do a few more assignments overseas in the the next year or so and want to document the trips.

[brazilhead]

I trained with Gigi (shown in the video) in Cape Verde before going on to be a Peace Corps volunteer for a year in Bissau and a year on the island of Bolama between 1991 and 1993.

[sucram81]

This is a really cool video. Did you travel there independently or with some sort of organization?

[sabaly]

thanks for the comments. i went there independently with my wife. i do some work in Africa as a consultant and had the opportunity to do this, which was more of a vacation. i hope to do a few more assignments overseas in the the next year or so and want to document the trips.
