Tounga, It Can Happen to You

This cartoon, which is produced by children and for children, tells the story of Tounga, a young boy who leaves his village for the big city in search of a better future. Tounga, who is walking alone in the bush, is attacked by a snake, arrested by the police, sleeps under the stars in the city, and ends his journey wounded at his workplace. At the end, he got the assistance of his friends, the working children and youth (WCY), who help him out.

The cartoon was created by the African Movement of Working Children and Youth (AMWCY, in French: MAEJT, in Portuguese: MACJT). Its companion cartoon Listen! It concerns you can be accessed by clicking here.
