Culture and Daily Life in Ariang with mama Akuach | CHECK BACK FOR DATE AND TIME
Story of Akuach & Awut. Akuach was born and raised in Ariang South Sudan shortly after the civil war of North Sudan and South Sudan. She (and men and women of her generation) missed out on education and other opportunities.
Awut is her daughter. The relationship between then has been great. Both have learned a lot from each other. When Akuach enrolled started her tailoring course, Awut helped her with translation until Akuach had a hang of it.
Today, Akuach is a competent tailor. Hear this and more. Learn cultural practices, lifestyles, art forms, and songs of South Sudan from someone who knows them first-hand.
