在西非的布吉納法索


Burkina Faso is a landlocked country of the French speaking West Africa. Geographically, this is a land of 274,200 sq. km, mostly covers by savanna; brushy plains and scattered hills. The climate is Sahelian with fairly wet and dry seasons.
Burkina Faso means the country of people of integrity, and the Nationality is the Noun and adjective Burkinabe (accent on last e). The Capital is Ouagadougou; the population is currently about13, 902,972. The official language is French. The Major group is Moose or Moore constituting 53 %, and about 60 minorities groups. The Religion is formally traditional at 20%, Muslim 55%, and Christian at 25%.

布吉納法所是一個位於西非說法語的內陸國家 全國面積約為274200平方公里 大多數為無樹平原灌木叢以及小丘陵 氣候是屬於乾濕分明

布吉納法所意思是 “誠實人們的國家 “ 名詞是 Burkina Faso 形容詞是 Burkinabe (重音在後) Ouagadougou是首都 人口大約有近13,902,972個人 官方語言是法文 主要的族群是Moose或是Moore 大約是總人口的百分之五十三 大概有60個少數族群。宗教信仰有百分之二十為傳統教派 百分之五十五是回教 基督教佔了百分之二十五

The Literacy rate for 2003 was 32.25% (currently improved), the infant mortality rate of (2003) is also about 83/1,000, and Life expectancy (2003) was 45.7 years. These poor data in development indexes has contributed to located Burkina Faso on the queue of World countries ranked by the United State Body.
教育程度再在2003年大約是百分之三十二點二五 (最近有進步喔),嬰兒死亡率在2003年約為千分之八十三,在2003年國民平均壽命為45.7歲 這些糟糕的數據已提供美國作為世界國家發展排名的依據

Natural and human resources are quantitatively and qualitatively limited in Burkina Faso. Manganese, gold, limestone, marble, Phosphate, and zinc, the agriculture (32% of GDP) with main crops of cotton, millet, sorghum, rice, peanuts, shea nuts, maize, and livestock, and the industry runs for 18% of GDP. In these recent years, the country strived to polish its image as stable democratic country, bound towards liberal capitalist market, and a will for more private investment.

在布吉納法索,自然和人力資源在數量和質量上都受到限制。錳、黃金、石灰岩、大理石、磷肥和鋅都缺乏,百分之三十二的國民生產毛額是農業,主要的稻物是棉花、小米、高梁、米、花生、堅果、玉蜀黍和家禽。

工業佔了國民生產毛額百分之十八,在最近幾年,國家試圖要改善他的形象,使之成為一個穩定、民主、有豐富資金的市場以及能吸引私有投資的國家。

Bonyolo, my village is located in the Sanguie (one of the 45 provinces of Burkina Faso). The Sanguie is on the Center West of the country, and REO is the pole town of this rural area. Bonyolo is only 1km far from reo. As the general feature of the country, Bonyolo is flat with a medium elevation of 300m. People here as in most of the country rural area, are surviving from extensive agricultural crops and traditional livestock. Life seems to have been stagnated in some old time. Most needed is education to change mentalities and launch development. On the next pages, I put some pictures for an overview of the village. Of course this is just an introductive statement…

Bonyolo 是我所居住的城市,位於Sanguie (是布吉納法索四十五個城市中的其中一個)。Sanguie是在國家的中西邊,而REO是這個鄉村地區的中心。
Bonyolo離REO只有一公里。說到國家的大部分的相貌,Bonyolo地形平坦且大約有三百公尺的高度,在這裡的人們大約是以農產品和家禽維生,生活似乎是跟舊時代沒什麼兩樣。最需要的是以教育來改變人們的智力和進行國家的開發,在下一頁 我放了一張蓋述城市的照片 當然這只是一個初步的介紹
