The societies in Africa need more opportunity to develop cultures of resilience to the “obesities” of consumerist addictions.

Thank You

however we need pricing mechanisms that make such items actually affordable.

However, even when mine breaks down I can’t afford one. I usually get my grandchildren’s castoffs. The reason I need one is because I wear hearing aids and there are various things that can be done better if I have a more up-to-date Android system. Never mind.
