Thaka and the Aloe Tree (Thaka le setlhare sa legala) -- African Storytelling with Play Africa

Thaka is a little girl who lives in a town where most families have fruit trees. Her home is the only one with succulents, cacti and aloes, and she is sad that her garden is not filled with colour. But one day people in her town need medicinal plants. Join storyteller Tsholo Shounyane and her puppet Nonki to learn how Thaka's garden suddenly becomes a valuable resource. In English and Setswana.
