Cabo Verde
The Kid's Talk Radio teachers and students are reaching out to teachers and students on the Cabo Verde Islands. This is our way of adopting a country. We want to know all about the wonderful people on Cabo Verde. Our main goal is to share stories and music. PNN is all set up to allow the Cabo Verde students to communicate with the American students free of charge. We want to do what ever we can to make it possible for the students on the Cabo Verde Islands to communicate with the teachers and students in the Kid's Talk Radio Project 100 Grant Program. We are not going to stop with the Cabo Verde Islands. We have our eyes set on Portugal and Brazil. Bob Barboza has plans to eventual include of the Portuguese speaking countries.More about Cabo Verde
Cape Verde is a small nation that lacks resources and has experienced severe droughts. Agriculture is made difficult by lack of rain, and is restricted to only four islands for most of the year. Most of the nation's GDP comes from the service industry. Cape Verde's economy has grown since the late 1990s, and it is now considered a country of average development.
Cape Verde has been on the list of the United Nations Small Island Developing States, and Least Developed Countries.
In 2007 the United Nations graduated Cape Verde from the category of Least Developed Countries, only the second time this has happened to a country.
More Cape Verdeans live abroad than in Cape Verde, with significant emigrant Cape Verdean communities in the United States (500,000 Cape Verdeans), Portugal (80,000) and Angola (45,000). There are also significant number of Cape Verdeans in So Tom and Prncipe, Senegal, France, Brazil and the Netherlands. Cape Verdean populations also settled Spain, Germany, and other CPLP countries (Brazil and Guinea-Bissau).
Kid's Talk Radio is going to share stories with Cape Verdean students and teachers from around the world.
