AND THIS IS WHERE CAMEROON IS
LOCATED, WHERE MY MOM COMES
FROM.

A flag is displayed.
Khalil says, THIS IS THE CAMEROONIAN FLAG.
THE FLAG IS GREEN, YELLOW, RED.
THE MIDDLE OF THE CAMEROONIAN
FLAG IS A STAR.
THE STAR STANDS FOR UNITY.
THAT MAKES ME A
CANADIAN-CAMEROONIAN.
FUN FACT!
DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS 260
SPOKEN LANGUAGES IN CAMEROON?
YEP!
MOST OF THE LANGUAGES ARE
INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES.

CALL IT FOOTBALL INSTEAD OF
SOCCER.

CHESNEY AND MIA.
WE LOVE TO PLAY SOCCER TOGETHER
JUST LIKE IN CAMEROON.

Khalil says, IT IS FUN TO PLAY SOCCER.
PLAYING SOCCER MAKES ME FEEL
GOOD.
ONE GAME PER WEEK AND ONE
PRACTICE PER WEEK.
Khalil kicks the ball. He approaches friends who have the ball.
He says, PASS.
Khalil is passed the ball.
He asks, DID YOU KNOW THAT CAMEROON HAS
ONE OF THE BEST SOCCER PLAYERS
IN THE WORLD?
An animation shows a person on the top of an award podium.
(Cheering)
Khalil says, AND THAT MAKES ME SO PROUD AND
THAT'S WHY I LOVE TO PLAY IT
TOO.
I WON A COUPLE OF MEDALS WITH MY
SOCCER TEAM.
An animation shows Khalil with medals.
Khalil says, PLAYING THAT SPORT BRINGS ME
CLOSER TO MY AFRICAN ROOTS.
In a bedroom, Khalil pokes his head out a window in a tree fort loft bed.
He says, HI.
WELCOME TO MY ROOM.
IT'S MY FUN PLACE TO HANG OUT.
I READ, I DRAW WITH MY SISTER
AND LITTLE BROTHER AND FRIENDS
HERE.
The animated sun gives a thumbs up.
Khalil says, IT'S WHERE I KEEP MY SOCCER
MEDALS.
He holds his medals out the window. The animated sun smiles and waves. Khalil stands behind a counter top with a glass of water.
He says, I'M A BIT THIRSTY.
He snaps his fingers and the water becomes a dark drink.
He says, WHOA.
THIS IS BISSAP.
IT'S ALSO CALLED FOLÈRE OR
HIBISCUS JUICE.
IT'S MADE FORM HIBISCUS PETALS
KNOWN AS FOLÈRE OR BISSAP IN
CAMEROON.
Pictures of the flower are displayed. Khalil takes a drink of the bissap.
He says, AH.
FRESH.
MY GRANDMA TEACHES ME HOW TO
MAKE IT.
Khalil’s grandma puts her arm around him.
Khalil says, TO MAKE BISSAP JUICE WHAT YOU
NEED IS, BISSAP LEAVES, WATER,
PINEAPPLE JUICE AND SUGAR.
His grandma points to the different ingredients needed. She stands by a pot on a stove with Khalil.
Khalil says, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ADULT WITH
YOU.
His grandma holds the bowl of bissap leaves.
Khalil says, DID YOU KNOW THAT BISSAP HAS
VITAMINS AND MINERALS?
FIRST WE NEED TO PUT THE LEAVES
INSIDE THE BOILING WATER.
He sprinkles the leaves into the pot.
He says, THEN WE COVER IT AND WE LET IT
BOIL FOR A LONG TIME.
THEN WE STRAIN THE FLOWERS.
Khalil’s grandma scoops the liquid and flowers into a strainer over a jug.
Khalil says, THEN WE PUT IN THE SUGAR.
His grandma pours the sugar into the jug.
Khalil says, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE PUT IN
THE PINEAPPLE JUICE.
His grandma adds the pineapple juice to the jug.
Khalil says, TRADITIONALLY, WE SERVE IT TO
GUESTS IN OUR CULTURE.
He grabs a glass of bissap.
He says, HERE.
YOU WANT SOME?
He holds out the glass.
He says, CHEERS.
The animated sun dances. Khalil drinks the bissap.
On the track, he says, I LIKE RUNNING BECAUSE IT FEELS
GOOD.
Khalil’s dad stands with him on the track.
Khalil says, I'M RUNNING AROUND THE TRACK TO
BEAT MY OWN TIME.
LET'S SEE HOW I CAN DO.
