kennis voor het leven...knowledge for life
meet "Bouba"...the cute kid in the yellow shirt...who, after an exhaustive week-long search in his city, Djenné, Mali, discovers the answer to the question: what is the greatest part of knowledge?
this inspiring story is told through a film narrative, from the perspective of a 'griot' (a West-African storyteller; in this case Afel Bocoum, who is famous in Mali)...this is one of the stories told from generation to generation in this part of Africa and it is wonderfully captured in this film by Dutch director, Sander Francken
after much searching Bouba discovers that the greatest part of knowledge is not about earth, air, water & fire...not about the animals & how to hunt them...the knowledge in your head might be more true than what is in books...and the knowledge in your heart is also important...
but the greatest part of knowledge...is what we don't know
thanks bouba for reminding me of all there is still to discover

And for the fact that there are so many things- unknown, waiting for us to discover!! That's a very good reminding for me as well, my dear.
