Langouani, Idjouki, Pangoani ('Wake up'), a school for indigenous pupils<br />

In 2009, the ‘Center for the<br />

Education of Indigenous Peoples’<br />

(CEPA) officially opened the doors of<br />

the first school for semi-nomadic<br />

pupils, the first of its kind in the<br />

Sangha department of ROC. The<br />

school was named ‘Langouani,<br />

Idjouki, Pangoani’, three words each<br />

meaning ‘Wake up!’ in three Pygmy<br />

languages (Mikaya, Bangombe and<br />

Mbendjele, respectively). IFO built<br />

the school to offer education to<br />

approximately 100 Pygmy children,<br />

aged 9 to 14, who would not<br />

normally enroll in public schools.<br />

Although the school was transferred<br />

to the Congolese administration in<br />

2014, IFO continued to serve meals<br />

to the pupils, as an incentive to<br />

attend classes.<br />

Keeping the forest and bettering lives<br />

Dutch writer Meindert Brouwer<br />

visited IFO in 2016. His<br />

vibrant, personal account is<br />

part of ‘Central African Forests<br />

Forever’ (click here or scan the<br />
