African Families

Africa is imitating and importing every culture from the western countries which are their colinialists. In Africa a family is an extended body.
In Africa, when a family is in trouble; all the village is touched by the problem. It's also applied when a family lost one of their family members. In my continent which is Africa where insuarence is a new culture, not everyone is insuared. When a member of a family is sick, all the extended family have to be engaged and support that oersin by contributing to health fees which are expensive.
As Africans are importing cultures, supporting each others during tough times become old fashion. There are people who prefers to intervene only when the person who was sick passed on. Africa must come back to its culture whereby families were supporting each others. Africa is just a family united.
