[01:20:36]in action.

[01:20:51]At least That's something that I would do.

[01:21:34]like it's kind of how negative things about your country's already like you know.

[01:22:11]Oh, sorry.

[01:22:16]Even if things are hard or tough, find something beautiful to share.

[01:22:26]I just country and then you'll be like And then you'll be like But what what they like how is the market of their country like all those beautiful stuff.

[01:23:19]We should find a way of like bring up the positive among the future of Bundi and we will maybe change things improve So something like that different reasons.

[01:24:08]find a way of making a change and that even more than that what can you bring like a change your country you still have years to live with grace you should find something to improve things. Those things were very negative. Yeah. Nice.

[01:25:01]way.

No, do you know about and the funny the funny thing is okay and I'm always like they will never guess some people who come from this country you can Don't worry. Let me let me help you.

[01:29:11]Don't try to guess. I know you'll never find. Let me just tell you for [laughter] [gasps] Okay. I got to hear I need to change and do something because one of their interest maybe one of the person that person knows because of that maned.

[01:30:00]They will never know Burundi because of their culture or because of their >> landscape or anything that makes Bundi Bundi Bundi. They will never know that they will know because of other Bundians who have made it in life but already like I don't know at the top of tops. So [laughter] com.
