Debería estar jugando en la playa con sus amigos.
Pero Yoni tiene que ayudar a su familia vendiendo buñuelos de viento en el Paseo Marítimo de Bata, Guinea Ecuatorial.
Según UNICEF,en los países en desarrollo se ganan la vida trabajando al menos 250 millones de niños, casi la mitad de ellos a jornada completa.
La Convención de Derechos del Niño, firmada por la ONU en 1989, establece que los niños tienen derecho a divertirse y a jugar. Y a ser protegidos contra la explotación.
Hoy es otro mal día para Yoni.
Ningún niño debería trabajar.

LE PETIT GARÇON QUI VENDAIT DES BEIGNETS

Il devrait être en train de jouer avec ses amis sur la plage.
Mais Yoni doit aider sa famille vendant des pets-de nonne au bord de la mer de Bata, Guinée Équatoriale.
Selon UNICEF, dans les pays en développement ils se gagnent la vie en travaillant au moins 250 millions d'enfants, presque la moitiée d'eux à temps complet.
La Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant, signée par l'ONU en 1989, établit que les enfants ont le droit de s'amuser et de jouer. Et être protéges contre l'explotation.
Aujourd'hui, c'est une autre dure journée pour Yoni.
Aucun enfant devrait travailler.

He would have to be playing in the beach with his friends,
but Yoni must help to his family selling doughnuts in the
Marine Stroll of Bata, Equatorial Guinea. According to UNICEF,
in the developing countries at least 250 million children
they gain life working, almost the half of them complete day.
The Convention of Rights of the Child, on 1989 signed by the ONU,
it establishes that children have right to amuse themselves
and to play and to being protected against any explotation abuse.
For Yoni Today it's another bad day.
The children shouldn't to work!

Hay amaneceres irrepetibles.
Puestas de sol que sólo pueden verse en este continente.
Cielos que ningún pintor puede igualar.
Pero lo que siempre llevaré conmigo cuando me vaya,
son esas miradas...

This fig tree grows in the forests of tropical, central Africa, usually at lower altitudes next to streams or rivers, sometimes in rocky places, up to an altitude of 1800m. Westernmost it grows on the coasts of the Atlantic in Liberia, easternmost it reaches the Indian Ocean where Kenya and Tanzania meet.
From west to east, and north to south, it occurs in: Liberia, possibly parts of southeastern Guinea, southern Ivory Coast, S Ghana, S Togo, S Benin, S Nigeria, most of Cameroon except the northern panhandle, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, possibly southernmost Chad, all of the CAR except the utmost NE, the entire DRC, the northern ¼ of Angola, possibly southernmost Sudan (Al Istiwa'iyah), Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, SW Kenya, all except a bit of SE Tanzania, N Zambia (northern North Western, Copperbelt, Luapula, Northern) and northernmost Malawi. In 2007 there was a new report of an isolated population of this subspecies from the Mount Namuli inselberg in the Zambezia Province in central Mozambique.
Origin: Cutting from a plant in the hallway of the Larenstein Agricultural College in Deventer.

The only common name I could find for this species is in
Swedish: Kimbalafikus

It's leaves grow in whorls. The plant in the photo had not grown a single leaf in 1.5 years. It spent this summer outside, where the apical (7 leaves) and lateral buds (3 to 5 leaves) finally opened. It hasn't done anything since.

I have seen trees bear fruit now and then, even in office settings.

Inside our Camp beside the lake

Two months ago welcomed Burgers Zoo (Arnhem, the Netherlands) a brand spanking new baby Western Lowland Gorilla.
Born on the night August 24th to three-time mom N’Gayla, the newborn appears to be doing well. The baby is a girl named: N'Washi.

De Arnhemse dierentuin Burgers' Zoo heeft er een kleine westelijke laaglandgorilla bij.
De geboorte van de baby in de nacht van maandag 24 op dinsdag 25 augustus was een soort cadeautje. Verzorgers kwamen 's morgens in het apenverblijf en zagen moeder N'Gayla opeens met haar jong in haar armen.
Het dierenpark wist wel dat de 16-jarige N’Gayla drachtig was, maar dacht dat het jong ergens in september of oktober ter wereld zou komen.
Voor moeder N'Gayla is het de derde nakomeling. N’Gayla mocht twee dagen na de geboorte met haar enkele decimeters grote gorillababy naar het buitenverblijf. Vader, zilverrug Bouwi, mocht ook mee, maar bleef op eerbiedige afstand van moeder en kind.
Het babyaapje, een meisje met de naam N'Washi, is helemaal gezond.
"Het drinkt goed, slaapt goed en is ook vaak wakker. Net als een gewone baby".
