Example report about the life in the African village area : One example in the Republic of Uganda

Abstract

I performed volunteer activity of the elementary school administration in a village of the western part of Republic of Uganda for 4 months in 2005. I spent the time in the same schedule and ate the same things as a boarding student during the activity period. The living standard there was under the absolute poverty line obviously when I estimated an expenditure amount, but I was able to enjoy it without any problem. Based on experience of this time, I provide a one example about the life in the village part in Africa.2005年9月から12月末までの4か月，アフリカ・ウガンダ共和国西部の村で，小学校運営のボランティア活動を行った．活動期間中は寄宿生と同じスケジュールで，同じものを食べて過ごした．支出金額を推計すると，明らかに絶対的貧困ラインを下回っていた．この時の経験に基づき，アフリカの農村部における生活についての一事例を提供する．departmental bulletin pape
