I think people should know more of Africa in terms of its joie de vivre, its feeling for life. In spite of the images that one knows about Africa - the economic poverty, the corruption - there's a joy to living and a happiness in community, living together, in community life, which may be missing here in America.

I'm a modern Muslim. I pray, and if I have a question, I ask someone who is more educated in the religion than me.

~ Youssou N'dour

Travel teaches as much as books.
