Fun and Games for Girls

There's nothing like the joy of children playing games. Fun and camaraderie are universal needs!

The video above is of a game of le Mboko at the Kimbilio's girls' transit home. As you can see, it is a local version of hopscotch. It is the favorite game of the girls residing at Kimbilio.

Le Kangé, also known as Zango, is very special. It started as a traditional children's game, and has developed into an official national sport for women in the DR Congo.  Zango means foot dance. The game involves clapping, dancing, gymnastics, singing and strategy. The photos below are of the girls playing Zango at the Kimbilio Mapendo School.

.The list of games is as endless as the imaginations of the girls.
