Among the Acholi every evening the children gather firewood to make fire. Elders and children sit around the fire and elders told Folk stories which were passed to them by their elders.Classes will hear these traditional tales:• The story of the lost spear• Mr. Elephant and the Rabbit• Monkey and the crocodileUganda is a land-locked country in east central Africa. The population of Uganda is 35 million people (a little lower than the population of California). Agriculture is the main industry in the country, accounting for 80% of the workforce, with coffee being its largest export. The Acholi people live in northern Uganda and number 1.5 million people. Though English is the main language in the country, the Acholi speak Acholi, a dialect of a regional African language called Luo.
