Review of Time For Africa

Most kids feel cramped when there are a few extra kids on a bus. Imagine a bus filled nearly 40 over capacity. These kids in Ghana are experiencing this on the way to day care. This piece was nicely arranged, and it had a good balance of narration, interview, and ambient sound. The ambient sounds of the children produce a schoolyard environment, placing me right in the middle of the group of jolly kids. The segment about the food was really eye-opening and highlighted the morals these kids exhibit in difficult conditions. The outro was just great, I love that song (don't want to spoil it for potential listeners) and it was a pleasant conclusion to a quality piece.
